REIMAGINING THE SCHOOL DAY
Imagine a school where young learners can have input into the curriculum and their learning journey.
With timetabled academic skill slams, big studies and project-based learning, the young learners also have dedicated time for self-directed studies: to carry out research projects of their own design around the things that most interest them.
There are also a number of other workshops that young learners can sign up to attend on one afternoon a week.
The rhythm of the day is designed to fit with our culture of respect: where adults see themselves as facilitators of learning, who are committed to delivering an engaging educational experience that makes learning relevant, meaningful and joyful.
We expect to challenge young learners to always be working on the leading edge of what they can’t yet do but are working hard to get good at.
Teachers are also close by to challenge them and help frame learning when it’s needed. Sometimes young learners work alone, sometimes in small or large groups.
