- Students engage in hands-on projects that allow them to explore real-world problems and challenges.
- Students regularly reflect on their learning experiences, both individually and collaboratively.
- Learning takes place both indoors and outdoors, with daily opportunities for students to connect with nature.
- Because we understand that activities which engage all five senses are the most effective for deepening conceptual understanding.
- Play is recognised as a crucial aspect of children's development.
- As part of our dedication to holistic development, our pedagogy maintains a strong focus on academic excellence, to support successful learning and development within the National and International Education systems curriculum
Making everyday a beatuiful day!
Making everyday a beatuiful day!
Within the beautiful natural environment of our Cekmeköy Campus, supported by our tight-knitschool community, we are working hard everyday to provide all our children with the genuine opportunity to explore and develop their individual strengths, experience a deep sense of belonging, and enjoy the privileges and responsibilities inherent within community life.
Our pedagogy is very intentionally focused on nurturing and strengthening children's curiosity, independence, critical awareness, open-mindedness and problem-solving skills. We believe very strongly in the importance of developing these meaningful life skills as a central part of healthy childhood development, and we do everything we can to help our students learn deeply and grow in these essential ways. To achieve this, our teaching methods are adapted to integrate project-based exploration, reflective practice, and restorative principles, enriched with interactive sensory and nature-based experiences, along with creative play-based learning.

For us, understanding the unique academic potential of each student is crucial. We work hard to recognise every child's individual characteristics and learning styles. This enables us to constantly provide tailored and differentiated teaching approaches to suit their needs, and evaluate their progress effectively.
In this way, through a thorough analysis of each student's personality and individual needs, we are able to guide and support their personal and academic development. We provide individualised additional learning support for all programs, to make sure every child is enabled to learn to their best abilities. Additionally, we offer an 'Emotional and Behavioral Support Program' and Mentorship Programs as needed.

We regularly evaluate and update our curriculum, instructional methods, and support services to ensure our approach is relevant and effective in truly preparing every child in all the ways they need to succeed in our complex and rapidly changing world.
