My Philosophy of Education

The role of education in our society is to provide the building blocks of life to children. They will then take these blocks and assemble them in a way that will allow them to be successful, compassionate and innovative contributors to our society. A sturdy education provides all children with a base of knowledge and skills that will prepare them to move successfully through life. In order for children to grow and be a better person is through the development of different learning skills in accordance with their individual needs, abilities, and interests. On this basis, my philosophy of education is that “Each child is unique. They learn in different ways at different pace and needs”
I believe that each child has the capacity to accomplish any goal that is set for them as long as they feel connected to what they are learning. That every child has his/her own capacity and speed of learning.
Anchored by this philosophical foundation, it is my vision to optimize the utmost potential of every learner. To be able to attain this vision, each learner is expected to develop the basic learning skills (Reading, Writing, Calculating), as well as the art of critical thinking. Creating a challenging learning environment wherein the child develops motivation, independence and most of all the love of learning. To facilitate the attainment of my personal vision and mission, my objectives are as follows: to introduce every learner to diverse situations in order to create a motivation towards free expression of ideas, development of self-confidence and the practice of critical thinking, to provide different opportunities for the discovery and development of the learner’s talent and skills in order to acknowledge individual achievements and successes.
