Focus & Goals
Freedom Based on Discipline
​
When free to explore, to question & to express themselves, Children are most likely to learn and enjoy learning. However Children can only feel free when they know what their boundaries are. They need to know that there are limits and what they are. This encourages self discipline in Children.
Respectfulness
​
Children need to experience both giving and receiving respect. Children need to respect themselves, each other, their work, and their environment.
Democracy
​
Each Child is equally important. We aim to guide our Children to discover and use their inner knowledge, so that they are free to participate and express themselves spontaneously and honestly.
Collective Ability
​​
Children need to understand that they are individuals who form part of a group. They need to work together at times, to share ideas and materials.
Non-Competitiveness
​
Children need to understand that we are all unique. For this reason, there should be no comparisons between Children or between their work.
Non-Violence
​
Nobody should hurt any person, animal or plant or damage things in their environment.
Self-Responsibility
​
Children need to develop self reliance – to take responsibility for themselves, to be independent and resourceful. They also need to produce work that they feel satisfied with rather than only to please the teacher.
An Ordered Environment
​
Children respond well to a sense of order if they feel that they are part of it. They need a well-organized working space in which they can share the responsibility for organizing materials and equipment.
Active Learning & Participation
​
Education is not what we can give them, but rather what they experience. Children learn when they are actively involved in doing, thinking, and discovering.
Meaningful Content
​
Children learn best when activities are directly related to their own personal experiences.
Creative Thinking – Not Imitation
​
Children need to learn how to think and not what to think. Activities need to be aimed at developing creative thinking in Children.
Positive Encouragement
​
Children develop confidence when they receive positive encouragement and constructive criticism.
Parental Involvement
​
Education is not something that happens at certain times in certain classes. It is an ongoing experience. Parents are the main teachers of their Children. When teachers and parents communicate regularly, they can enrich each other’s understanding of their Children. When parents are supportive and involved in their Children’s education, Children are more motivated and committed to learning.​​
