PILLARS OF PEDAGOGY
OUR PRIORY PILLARS OF PEDAGOGY
At The Priory, we believe that academic and social-emotional growth are interwoven and equally important to achieve whole-child development. Our holistic approach ensures that every aspect of a child’s growth is nurtured, providing a foundation for lifelong learning and personal development.
Our pedagogical approach is rooted in three key pillars: Child-Centered Learning, Research-Based Practices, and Learning by Doing. These pillars form the core of our educational philosophy, guiding our efforts to create an enriching, supportive, and dynamic learning environment for all our students.
1. CHILD-CENTERED LEARNING
The Priory's pedagogy is anchored in the belief that each child is unique, deserving of an educational experience tailored to their individual needs. We adapt our teaching to align with the abilities, needs, interests, and developmental stages of our students. Our approach nurtures students’ curiosity and involvement in their learning journey, promoting a differentiated and inclusive methodology. By meeting children where they are, we ensure that every child feels supported and empowered to reach their full potential.
2. RESEARCH-BASED PRACTICES
The Priory's pedagogy is innovative and grounded in research, continuously adapting to new developments in elementary education. Our inspiring faculty expertly select the best pedagogical practices to facilitate learning, ensuring that our methods are both effective and impactful. At The Priory, staying at the forefront of educational advancements, we provide our students with a dynamic and engaging learning experience that prepares them for future success.
3. LEARNING BY DOING
From the initial vision of The Priory, we believe that hands-on and concrete experiences enhance and deepen student learning. We refer to these practices as the framework of ‘Learning by Doing’. Children learn best when they can explore and discover through hands-on activities and real-life experiences, both inside and outside the classroom. These methods help children understand and remember what they learn by making it relevant and engaging. Our focus on the learning process encourages children to take risks with their learning, develop skills, and build confidence, ensuring they are well-prepared for future challenges.
THE PRIORY EXPERIENCE
At The Priory, our commitment to our pillars of pedagogy ensures a well-rounded and meaningful educational experience that supports your child's academic and social-emotional development. This approach not only prepares students for a smooth transition from our K4 program to Grade 6 but also gives them the confidence and skills needed to excel in high school and beyond.
