在Durham School,學校相信教育要全方位,當然學術是最主要的重心,最重要的是學校將幫助學生取得成就感而為自己的表現感到自豪. 學校的座右銘是“對生活的信心”, 相信這種信心可以使學生在學校生活的各個領域取得成功. 向學生灌輸的信心來自於對自己的了解,清楚了解自己的優勢和劣勢. 學校是擁有多元化的環境, 來自20多個國家的學生和教職員工. 培養對不同文化的理解, 最重要的學校加強學生的學習信心使學生畢業於Durham時都有很好的發展,在這裡為他們未來生活的立下堅強的基礎.
另外學校為國際學生安排語言課程幫助提高英文水平並協助國際學生適應英國的生活與文化. 每個學期學校都會安排不一樣的課外活動, 部分活動可讓學生彈性自由參加, 而有些團體活動（例如Bow，Durham Singers）是必須全體學生參加,讓大家能有機會互相認識與互動.
