Curriculum details
Roots and Wings uses a project-based curriculum across preschool, primary and secondary education. Preschool offers a full-time program for 2.5 to 5 year olds with 2 teachers for up to 12 children and emphasizes social skills, emotional awareness, imagination, self-directed learning, and play-based activities such as yoga, gardening, cooking, and storytelling. Primary education uses an integrated project-based approach where learning comes to life through self-organised learning environment (SOLE) sessions; themes combine maths, sciences, language skills, and arts, with the outdoors used as a second classroom in a wooded park setting to support mindfulness and practical understanding. Secondary education provides full coverage of the British Curriculum preparing students for IGCSEs and A-Levels, with co-creation of an individualized academic journey and a focus on collaboration, inclusiveness, innovation, creativity, resilience and curiosity. The outdoors continues to serve as a learning context.
