New horizons in education.
At St.George’s, our commitment to innovative teaching techniques and technology ensures that our students are not just passive learners but active participants in their educational journey.
We make learning engaging, interactive, and fun, and prepare our students to navigate and excel in the complexities of the modern world. By embracing methodologies like project-based learning and flipped classrooms, and incorporating technology such as virtual reality and gamification, we create dynamic and immersive learning experiences that are both inspiring and enjoyable.
Real-world relevance
Project-based learning at St.George’s bridges the gap between classroom learning and real-world application by engaging students in hands-on projects that foster critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.
Our projects are grounded in real-world issues, making learning relevant and exciting, and our student-centred approach enhances engagement and motivation. By working in teams, students develop essential communication and teamwork skills, while interdisciplinary projects integrate various subjects, offering a comprehensive learning experience. For example, in our science classes, students embark on designing and creating a sustainable garden, involving research, planning, and hands-on activities that seamlessly blend science, mathematics, and art.
Reimagining traditional learning
Our flipped classroom model reimagines traditional learning by delivering instructional content online, outside of the classroom, allowing for more interactive and personalised learning experiences during class time.
Students engage with lecture materials, videos, or readings at home at their own pace, ensuring they fully grasp the concepts. During class, time is dedicated to hands-on activities, discussions, and projects, fostering deeper understanding and application of knowledge. This approach ensures that no student is left behind and that learning is engaging and interactive. For instance, in our math classes, students might watch a video lecture on algebraic equations as homework and then collaborate in small groups to solve equations during class, with the teacher providing guidance and support.
Curriculum design
Our curriculum design is centred on fostering holistic learning by integrating STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) with the arts (STEAM).
This approach not only nurtures creativity and innovation but also prepares our students for the multifaceted challenges of the modern world. We create interdisciplinary courses that seamlessly link subjects, such as combining history with literature or science with social studies, to provide a richer and more comprehensive educational experience. By breaking down traditional subject boundaries, we encourage students to see the connections between different fields of knowledge, promoting critical thinking and a deeper understanding of the material.
We design flexible classroom spaces that support various learning activities and styles. Our dedicated makerspaces and labs are equipped with advanced materials and technology, allowing us to teach subjects in a more integrated manner. These spaces enable students to experiment, create, and apply their knowledge in hands-on projects, fostering a seamless blend of learning across multiple disciplines.
Reviewing and adapting practices
We are committed to regularly reviewing and adapting our practices to ensure that we are always at the forefront of educational excellence.
We understand that what works today may need adjustments tomorrow, and continuously assess the effectiveness of our innovative practices. Our dedicated team of educators regularly reviews teaching methods, curriculum design, and learning resources to ensure they meet the evolving needs of our students. When we identify areas for improvement, we make the necessary adjustments. Whether it's refining a lesson plan, incorporating new technology into the classroom, or revising our assessment strategies, we are proactive in adapting our practices to achieve better outcomes for our students.
Feedback is invaluable in guiding our innovation process. We actively seek input from our students and parents to understand their perspectives and experiences. Through surveys, focus groups, and open communication channels, we gather insights that inform our decision-making and drive positive change.
