Projector School Values
Humane Pedagogy
-
The school is student-centred: we respect and care for each and every one of our students.
-
We focus not only on the students’ academic achievements, but equally on their well-being.
-
We believe that school is not something that happens before real life begins but that school years constitute a large part of a person’s life and thus these years should be happy and meaningful.
Welcoming Innovations
-
We strive unceasingly to teach in a manner informed by and consistent with the best contemporary educational practices and innovations.
-
We believe in constant development and flexibility which allow us to meet new challenges.
Active Learning
-
Students learn by trying and doing, not by passively reading textbooks or listening to teachers.
-
We believe that teaching is a process of challenging, inspiring, supporting, and guiding the students on their path to knowledge.
Community Building
-
We grow a community of fellow inquirers, uniting students, teachers, and families in dialogue built on mutual respect.
-
We believe that while education cannot make people best friends, it can and should make people more open, more tolerant towards one another, more able to resolve conflicts and find common ground.
