Learning through experience

Experiential learning is the oldest learning methodology – learning by doing, where the opportunity to experience the meaning of learning content is combined with focused reflection and analysis. Experiential learning is fun for students because it often takes place in unusual environments – often outdoors, in nature.

 

Environment that nurtures

Children need to feel at home at school, both physically and emotionally: safe, secure, trusting of the people and environment around them, and a sense of comfort and harmony. So our school environment is designed to reflect the well-being of the children. Only then will all the other tools in the environment help to nurture children's creativity, curiosity and activity.

​

Learning through short- and long-term projects

Through different projects, children learn to set goals and objectives, understand time flow and planning, focus and develop patience through different project scopes. Most importantly, through project activities, children learn from their own and others' experiences, and understand the importance of individual work and responsibility, as well as teamwork.

​

Integrated and contextual learning

We continue the methodology of educating children in a blend of subjects and competences, which is not just about acquiring knowledge, but about using it, testing it, experiencing it, and relating it to each other, both in the context of the time and the world at large, as well as in the context of the pre-school and pre-primary curriculum. For children, learning should be fun, engaging and motivating, and we use a variety of tools and environments to do this.

​

Fostering values

Every day, both in our educational process and in our free time with children, we uphold the values of our community and society: respect and kindness to each other, love for our family and the environment. After all, values often help people not only to navigate the world, but also to choose what really matters in it. We value and respect each family's internal culture and worldview, and strive to reflect them and create our own culture in harmony.

​

Individual and team education

Each child has their own unique abilities, which parents and teachers work together to discover and nurture, and an individual pace of learning, which must be taken into account when adapting personalised learning plans. Learning with others helps you to understand your own and each other's unique abilities, to appreciate them and to channel them into group work. And the most important value of combining individual and teamwork is the message it sends to the child that it is not about competing with others, but about striving to be better than oneself.
