Educational Philosophy
Kids are unique! Some children need the freedom to explore and experiment, and quickly become bored and frustrated with worksheets and lecture. Others find the movement and noise of a busy, hands-on classroom overwhelming, and perform better in a classroom with a more traditional structure. The most important part of choosing a school is finding the perfect fit for your kids. A match between an academic program and your child's learning style will ensure that they maintain a positive attitude towards school and are challenged, but not overwhelmed, by the curriculum.
Every school follows an educational philosophy, which is a broad idea about the purpose and best method of educating children. It determines how the students are taught, which curriculum is used, and which teachers are hired. A match between your ideas and the school's philosophy will help ensure that you end up happy with the teachers, curriculum, and structure of the classroom after enrollment. Knowing your child as you do, think about which classroom would help them be happy, motivated, and eager to learn. Since their daily experience in the classroom will affect their attitude about school and effort towards schoolwork, choosing the educational method that is right for them is essential.
We use an experiential teaching approach, which is one of the four primary educational philosophies. This guide can help you determine if experiential education is right for your child, or if another method is a better match. After all, while many students can adapt to any classroom, most children will ultimately be happier and try harder in a program which is well-suited to their individual talents.
