Changemaking Initiatives:

  • The schools education is based around the “Big 5”: analytical ability, communicative ability, metacognitive ability, procedural ability and conceptual ability. 
  • The children create the curriculum together in the class, and divide themselves into groups according to their curiosity.
  • Every school day starts with a calm process time were teachers and students sit in a circle on the floor discussing the day ahead, key lessons from the previous day and any other topics of interest.
