The Montessori method

Understanding the approach

The Montessori approach, developed by Maria Montessori, prioritises independence, self-discipline, and hands-on learning. It utilises carefully designed materials to encourage self-directed exploration, allowing children to progress at their own pace. Montessori classrooms are multi-age environments, fostering mentorship and collaboration. This approach promotes practical life skills and holistic development. When presenting the Montessori approach, we emphasise its structured individualised learning, self-motivated exploration, and focus on real-world skills, showcasing how it cultivates self-confident and self-directed learners.

Cultivating unique abilities

Montessori classrooms cultivate vital skills such as cooperation, teamwork, and leadership through mixed-age classes. Our children develop the courage to try new things and grow their confidence and self-esteem. They experience the joy of discovery across a range of subjects, developing an expansive skill set and a broad knowledge base.

Suitable for:

This approach is ideal for children who enjoy hands-on learning and thrive in an environment that encourages independence. Montessori suits curious young minds eager to explore, experiment and learn at their own pace. If your child is a self-starter who revels in problem-solving, creativity, and leadership, the Montessori method will provide them the space to flourish.

IB Primary Years Programme

Understanding the approach

Harness your child’s boundless potential with the Internationally recognised IB Primary Years Programmes (PYP). Built around inquisitiveness, critical thinking, and a commitment to lifelong learning, PYP prepares your child for a successful transition wherever life may take you. Its emphasis on intercultural understanding resonates in today's globalised world. Instead of a one-size-fits-all education, your child’s unique interests are nurtured, fostering a love for learning and setting them on a path of continuous exploration and intellectual growth.

Cultivating unique abilities

This approach transforms the learning process into a dynamic, interactive journey. Children in the PYP don't just learn; they are instilled with a desire to explore and to question. This nurturing, engaging environment leads to the development of confident, independent learners who are not just prepared academically but also socially. As your child progresses, they demonstrate significant growth - exploring new areas, navigating complex challenges, and making connections across different fields of knowledge, displaying an agility of mind that is the mark of a future leader.

Suitable for:

The PYP is particularly suitable for children who display a natural curiosity and possess a drive for exploration. This dynamic educational approach allows them to thrive in a setting where their unique interests are celebrated and nurtured. PYP is a perfect fit for children whose families have a global lifestyle, or for those who aspire to an international academic pathway. It's a proven framework for children ready to embrace a wide-ranging, enriching learning experience that cultivates not just skills, but also the attitudes necessary for global citizenship.

The Reggio Emilia Approach

Understanding the approach

The Reggio Emilia approach is an innovative educational philosophy that originated in the town of Reggio Emilia, Italy. It places a strong emphasis on social collaboration, creativity, and self-expression. In this approach, teachers act as facilitators, guiding children's learning based on their interests and curiosities. The curriculum is emergent, meaning it evolves from the children's experiences and inquiries. Reggio Emilia classrooms are designed as inviting and flexible spaces that encourage exploration and interaction. Art and creativity are integral to the learning process, and documentation of children's work is used to reflect on and extend their learning journeys.

Cultivating unique abilities

Reggio Emilia's environment fosters not just academic skills, but also crucial social skills. These formative years are paramount in shaping future social dynamics. Our nurturing play spaces encourage peer interaction, foster empathy, and build social intelligence. This essential skillset turns them into positive contributors to society in the future.

Suitable for:

The Reggio Emilia approach is ideal for children with an inherent curiosity and the drive for exploration. It's particularly beneficial for children who thrive in an open, flexible learning environment where their creativity and individual interests are respected and valued. This approach encourages the development of social, cognitive, and problem-solving skills, perfect for the child who is ready to take an active role in their learning journey.

Early Years Foundation Stage

Understanding the approach

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) learning approach sets robust standards for the learning, development, and care of children from birth to 5 years of age. This child-focused, play-based educational framework integrates various developmental areas, cultivating a strong foundation for continuous learning. Emphasising the importance of play, EYFS progressively introduces learning skills that prepare children for future educational expectations.

Cultivating unique abilities

The EYFS framework recognises and nurtures the individual abilities of every child. It holistically promotes development in areas such as communication, literacy, physical development, personal and social growth, understanding of the world, and expressive arts and design. By guiding each child according to their pace, the EYFS approach maximises their potential and paves the way for their unique success.

Suitable for:

The EYFS approach respects each child's individuality, fosters resilience, and builds confidence. This approach is ideal for children who thrive in enabling environments and those who enjoy learning through play. It empowers children to be strong, independent, lifelong learners, which sets them up for a successful future.
