LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Our learning environment is about challenging students to be curious, to question, to investigate, to engage with the world; and to step outside their comfort zone and take risks.

We encourage these concepts through providing the following:

• Authentic and Balanced Curriculum: We deliver relevant, meaningful, and engaging content; and provide both experiential and traditional learning opportunities; all designed to challenge students by creating deeper conceptual understandings, while stimulating higher order thinking.

• Spirit of Discovery: We provide students with opportunities to inquire, explore, analyze and express, thus encouraging self-understanding, curiosity, creativity, reflection, and an interest in lifelong learning.

• Socratic Teaching: We stimulate students’ thinking, reasoning, and participation by administering teaching through discussion and questioning. This practice enables students to internalize what they have learned, and apply logic, significance, clarity, and accuracy to content and concepts.

• Adaptive Responsive Pedagogy: We are committed to providing curriculum adaptation so that it meets the learning styles and abilities, and socio-cultural-diverse backgrounds of all students; in addition to cultivating a nurturing environment whilst upholding a sense of responsibility, accountability and agency in students; all in order to provide opportunities for individual growth and success.

Agency is at the core of the learning experience. It is each student’s personal map for creating their journey. We make sure our students have every opportunity to embrace their own Agency.
