Child Centered

Children have an innate desire and passion for learning and that our job as educators is to support this natural process.

Our guides selectively and carefully design the classroom to foster each child’s independence.

The child’s freedom to choose one’s lessons, within limits, nurtures individual initiative and personal responsibility.

Individualized Learning

Each child learns at his/her own pace.

Through individualized learning within uninterrupted blocks of work, the children follow their passions and natural curiosity.

With the support of the prepared environment and nurturing guidance, balanced within a structure of freedom and responsibilities, the child develops concentration, inner discipline, and internalizes every aspect of learning.

Integrated Curriculum

The children are exposed to interrelated topics repeatedly over time.

In this way each level of mastery builds on each other, leading the child to continuous new insights, discoveries, competence, and confidence.

Multi-Age Grouping

Students of multi-ages, are in a classroom community where they naturally learn with and from each other.

The atmosphere in the classroom is one of collaboration and cooperation.

While the older children freely share their knowledge, which not only benefits the younger children but also deepens the older child’s knowledge and enhances their leadership and confidence.
