About the school
| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
Aurora International School Of The Arts is a Common Ground Collaborative member school inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy. The School's systems have been created to build the capacities of every child and to ensure an Aurora learner is an expert learner. Fostering life-long learning in the Early Years and Primary settings, teachers as co-constructors support children through self-discovery, imagination and creativity. The School's mission is to inspire and develop the potential in each child through child-led investigations and provocations, in an environment that fosters independent exploration, encourages social interactions and invites children to represent their ideas and reflect on their learning through accessible documentation.
