Teaching approach of the school |
The pupils’ interests are considered essential, as an important starting point for learning. Glasgow College avoids memorising and the learning of concepts without truly understanding them. Academic subjects are not taught in isolation and Glasgow College endeavours to incorporate learning into everyday activities. By means of interdisciplinary work, the contents of various academic fields integrate with each other and provide focus for the all-round development of the pupil. GC aims for a unified criterion, avoiding the repetition of material in both languages by way of an Integrated Bilingual Curriculum. |
