How children learn with us.
Our approach draws on Finnish education: learner-centred, playful, collaborative and built around real questions.
Five ideas behind every lesson.
Learner-centred
Children are active participants. They ask questions, solve problems and experiment.
Play-based
Especially in the early years, play is how children explore and make sense of the world.
Experiential
Understanding grows from real experience and doing, not only from listening.
Collaborative
Learning is designed for working together and learning from peers.
Phenomenon-based
A real-world theme is explored across subjects, so children see the big picture.
One question, many subjects.
Phenomenon-based learning starts with a real-world theme and explores it across subjects. The aim is to understand the big picture, not to memorise parts of it.
Skills for life.
Transversal competences are abilities children use across learning, work and life.
Thinking and learning
Cultural competence and self-expression
Taking care of oneself
Multiliteracy
Digital competence
Participation
Well, and ready to learn.
Trust, curiosity and happiness come first, because children learn best when they are well.
