I hear—and I forget; I see—and I remember; I do—and I understand.
KIDS School creates an open learning situation – a free expressive environment for all students. The philosophy is simple – knowing is doing.
We try to meet the needs of every child, and because of our child-centres, integrated approach, we can accommodate children with specific learning or physical disabilities into the school programme. Their presence also provides exceptional learning opportunities and experiences for other children whose needs are not so dramatic.
Aims in brief of KIDS:
- To build a sharing, caring community where we learn the value of each person.
- To use different methods of learning to meet the individual needs of each person.
- To encourage parents and friends to work and learn with us.
- To work at individual levels—NO grades, class or artificial divisions.
- To use—and enjoy—resources and abilities from all areas of the community. This means you.
- To encourage people—especially teachers and students—to observe our situation, in the hope that the variety and quality of activities we have will suggest alternatives for them.
- Self-sufficiency and autonomy for all.
- To explore camp type experiences as much as possible, with a minimum of one camp per term, or the equivalent.
- We want to be an active, welcoming, loving community. For this, we must have participants. KIDS is not a spectator school—it is for people interested in learning, sharing and caring.
Founded in 1975, KIDS has shown that its unique brand of
education is very successful and can only grow stronger.
Working with
everyday situations to allow children to understand and
grow with
whatever subjects they take, KIDS takes learning to a
greater level
through experience.
