Education Philosophy

The School believes that:

  • Every child is potentially an independent thinker, with an infinite capacity to acquire knowledge,
  • Given the space, children are capable of constructing activities that lead to effective learning outcomes,
  • Child-centered education is the achievement of learning outcomes, wherein the pace and content of learning is directed by the child and supported by the facilitator (the teacher),
  • Children learn most effectively through reflections shared with peers and facilitators and through group discussions.
