The special features of our learning centre

Wisdom Tree education


Our learning centre provides:


A safe and secure space for children to grow and develop

We have zero tolerance for bullying. At Wisdom Tree, everyone is treated with dignity and respect. The development of positive relationships is the basis for encouraging good behavior and character. This is a fundamental principle of our center.

Small group work

The adult/child ratio is very low. There is a maximum of six children per group. Our teaching and learning activities are planned around cooperative learning strategies. This approach differs from conventional group work in that it emphasizes "cooperation" and interdependence. We use Montessori materials that often lend themselves to group work.

High quality learning environment

We are a family-based home-schooling centre. The learning environment reflects the home atmosphere while providing rich learning opportunities. There is always an experienced professional guiding and supporting learning. Children learn best when they are comfortable and stimulated. The Wisdom Tree Centre offers both the stimulus of rich learning activities and the comfort and security of a family home schooling environment.

Individualised learning programmes

Activities are planned for groups, but each child's journey is planned and assessed according to his or her specific needs, skills, current level of knowledge and personal interests. A personal learning plan is drawn up for each child.

The role of parents at Wisdom Tree Education

 Wisdom Tree Education is not a school. We are here to support and guide parents in the home schooling of their children. Parents retain the responsibility for educating their children. If they choose to join us at Wisdom Tree Education, they expect us to provide a rich learning environment. This is a partnership. Although there are opportunities for parents to be actively involved in the teaching and learning, there are set times where the activities are planned on the basis that the children will be left at the centre. At other times, the parents can plan and lead the home schooling activities using the centre’s resources.

The role of specialists at Wisdom Tree Education

 The professionals at Wisdom Tree Education provide guidance and expertise. They have chosen specific resources to encourage investigation, learning and fun. In partnership with the parents, we develop personalised learning plans. While the children are at the Centre, the professionals lead and assess the learning and can offer advice and support for teaching and learning that takes place away from the centre.

Our values

Individualization

Complete individualization of learning.

We recognize that each child has his or her own pace, interests and talents.

What's more, our low child/adult ratio allows for personalized teaching.

Learning

A continuous learning model.

The aim is to encompass all aspects of daily life to prepare children to become critical thinkers, innovators and active contributors to society.

 Collaboration

 Close collaboration between families and the teaching team.

We take care to build a learning environment that supports the unique needs of each individual and the flexibility to create schedules to suit their lifestyle.

 Fulfillment

A relaxing setting where every child can develop to the full, with time to learn at his or her own pace and to play.

By encouraging curiosity, creativity and autonomy, we enable each child to gain confidence and acquire the skills needed to navigate a constantly changing world.

Our philosophy is to respect and learn to respect all of each family's unique cultures, beliefs and perspectives.
Together with you and your children, we build a community where everyone feels respected, valued and understood.
Each day then becomes an opportunity for growth, fulfillment and personal discovery for each family.
