The Guiding principles
Joyful Learning
The environment in the learning space will uphold the value of learning with happiness, encouragement and fun. This will motivate children to come to school with a purpose to learn.
Freedom with Responsibility
The goal should be to empower students to take a part in
their own learning while being held accountable for their
behavior and work product. That can be developed through a system of Consistency and Flexibility within a
learning space.
Initiative Taking
The ability to take initiative is developed through internal
rewards, like creativity, dignity, autonomy, making a
difference for others, and activities that help children
create their own futures.
Peer Learning
Peer Learning is a teaching and learning strategy that involves groups of students working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. Each
member of a team is responsible not only for learning what is taught but also for helping team-mates learn, thus creating an atmosphere of achievement.
Self Expression
Children's perceptions of their social position in the class-
room, the nature of their relationships with others, and
their expressions of personal identity are all tied to com-
munication. Dialog promotes children's self-expression in
their interaction with adults.
