Curriculum
We already talked a little about our curriculum and that what makes it unique is the pedagogy with which we deliver said curriculum. In your days and ours as learners, our teachers chalked and talked, and learning was focused on how much knowledge content could be absorbed. Today, at Kiddie Quest School, our pedagogy focuses less on the mass or volume of content, but on the depth of understanding and application of relevant content, teaching children to effectively apply knowledge through creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication, not just in the classroom, but in the world where they spend more of their time.
Academics are just a small part of what children’s learning experience should comprise. This, like other schools is something we practiced for a time, according to the dictates of society. Today, as a school, we are focused more on education than academics, as we appreciate that there are a number of skills that children need to survive and thrive in the real world. Developing these skills and attaining grade and age level-mastery requires more than just teaching subjects and achieving good grades, but by implementing carefully designed co-curricular and extra-curricular activities to enrich the overall learning experience of the children.
