Christian Education
|
Our educational philosophy is a child-centered educational approach based on traditional and Montessori based activities. It acknowledges that children are naturally eager for knowledge and capable of initiating learning in a supportive, thoughtfully prepared learning environment. It is an approach that values the human spirit and the development of the whole child—physical, social, emotional, cognitive.
Our curriculum is set in a prepared environment that encourages children to work independently and fosters the internal curiosity of the child as motivation to learn and to learn respect for environment. The school has highly experienced teachers and staffed ready and trained to help children unlock their highest potential. |
