INQUIRY APPROACH
All subjects are dealt – with using the scientific approach of Inquiry based Learning that involves engaging visuals presentation formats , and well-crafted activities to arouse leaners curiosity. It taps into the procedural , manipulative , observational , drawing , reporting and interpretative skills of the learners , hence enabling them to better grasp the key concepts .
PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS
are drilled by engaging learners in identifying problems , and by applying previous knowledge to solve them through reasoning and formulating conclusions. learners develop the basic ability to solve problems and apply learning in real life and new situations . they develop a deeper understanding of concepts by solving problems.
THINKING SKILLS
profound thinking requires both imagination and intellectual ideas. to produce excellence in thinking we engage our learning in a curriculum that overlaps the logical and the imaginative. our curriculum provides students with ample oppurtunities to practice higher – order thinking.
