Learning

At the heart of education is teaching and learning. Without ignoring the issues that dominate headlines about schooling such as class size and testing, we believe the secret of education is the personal engagement between the student and teacher and the quality of feedback they get. Every child deserves a year’s growth in learning for a year’s input of teaching.

An academic culture is created in the school by a relentless, practical focus on learning. Clear and well – structured lessons are given in the classroom and supported by effective classroom management to limit distraction. The curriculum is designed to challenge capable and motivated students by developing higher – order problem solving and advanced thinking skills.

Our teachers promote learning by using a variety of strategies, routines and practices that emphasize individualized instruction. With the support of parents, students are encouraged to develop the study habits, homework schedules and focused task approach at home that are necessary to reach their full academic potential.
