About the school
| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
Generation Schools believe in discovering the individual talents of each child and creating an environment where curiosity is king and the love of learning is actively encouraged and nurtured. Where knowledge is not only taught, but also experienced. Each child is allowed to discover their true passions naturally, so that they can grow to become creative, inventive women and men who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done. The future lies open to those who keep their love for learning alive and it is the school's responsibility to guide it. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
Generation Schools aim to provide an education model based on the Montessori philosophy that is extremely popular worldwide. The founders of Google and Amazon.com have had the benefit of this philosophy of education and they credit their success to the “divergent thinking”, which this philosophy of education offers. In a world that is continuously changing, the focus is not to ‘box’ a particular time frame, in terms of teaching methods, but to understand that the focus is on an educational model that will grow with change and is founded on teaching principles that have been in existence since the 1800’s. This “divergent thinking” sees the schools incorporate various models of education into their teaching philosophy. The Montessori philosophy carries through in all the phases. The curriculum in the preschool is based on authentic Montessori practice. In the Primary and High School, the Cambridge curriculum is introduced which offers IGCSE’s, AS, A and A2 levels, with an international matriculation so that learners can study anywhere in the world. |
