21st century skills
This approach more closely resembles real-life problem solving and will give pupils a clearer understanding of the complexity of the world. The students no longer study just one subject at a time like Science, but a whole range of subjects that relate to one topic/theme.
As a result the dialogue between peers, students and teachers also shifts, students are encouraged to speak more openly and share information including recording and documenting their own learning. Therefore the structure is less hierarchical and more of a team-based setting, greatly differing from the classic teacher instructs student mentality.
Children are taught in such a way that they develop the personal qualities of:
- Enquiry
- Adaptability
- Resilience
- Morality
- Communication
- Thoughtfulness
- Cooperation
- Respect
Curriculum design
It prepares students for the intellectual challenges of further education, focusing on the development of the whole child as an inquirer. The curriculum design in our preparatory year takes into consideration that children at this age get tired and have a relatively higher need for play.
