SELF-DIRECTED EDUCATION

#Future School restore the joy of learning with a surprisingly effective educational approach: intentional culture supporting self-directed learning reinforced by latest technology tools and methodologies.#Future School learning communities are based on letting children choose and follow their own passions, which makes them engage more deeply and learn more quickly and thoroughly.We also focus on creating a culture where children feel like they are heard, they belong, and they make a difference, and foster a vibrant community that heightens communication skills and builds confidence.

We prize self-direction and give kids genuine freedom throughout most of the day.At #Future School we follow a 3 level grading system where different ages are mixed. There is no hierarchy between subjects, as all disciplines are considered valid and worthy of interest. The week and days begins with a meeting where the learners set their intentions , and with the school team, they come together to determine the projects, workshops, social initiatives and meetings.

From 9:00 am to 3:30 pm, the day can be filled with all kinds of projects (lessons, free play, discussions, creations, collaboration, games, presentations, and so on). At the end of the day, the learners assess what they have learned (based on their morning intentions) and share it with others. Our Educators are called as a Facilitator and their goal is to provide maximum support with minimum interference. We believe that all people –and children are people– have a right to self-determination and freedom from oppression. Part of the work of a facilitator is that of constantly seeking to remove obstacles keeping learners from realizing their full potential, obstacles from unmanageable shoelaces to systemic inequity.

Gearing up for the future

Children today will need to succeed in a very different world than the one we’ve known – one completely outside the reach of traditional schooling.

The future is in the hands of the creative community builders, freelancers, and entrepreneurs. The skills to identify an opportunity, organize a team, plan the work, execute to fulfillment, and build your reputation from these successes do not come from obeying “Sit down, be quiet, and do what I say.”

Children need a setting to develop their fluency in digital media, their social, cultural and emotional intelligence, motivation, self-knowledge, and their sense of purpose. They need facilitation sharing their learning and the inspiration of a collaborative community.

Love for learning

If your child is losing their love of learning or their spirit is being crushed by meaningless tests, the drudgery of homework, or abusive authority, how long can you pretend all is well? Schools are broken and falling further behind as the world changes more quickly than they can adapt.

Most of the heavy labels kids carry today — like “below average” and “bad at math” — are a direct product of a school system treating children like they are machines to passively absorb programming in a standard manner instead of active, living, creative beings with their own paths to tread. A broken system saddles children with labels to mask its own failure and ineffectiveness, miseducating kids’ relationships to their abilities and potential in ways that can influence them for the rest of their lives.

The problems even spill over from the classroom into home life. Parents are supposed to be enforcers on their behalf, frowning on poor grades and bribing them for good performance. Why should you spend your precious time with them nagging about homework? Or doing it for them?

School shouldn’t be a punishment – childhood isn’t a crime. A school’s job should be to adapt to your child’s learning needs, not to bend your child into the mold of an obedient, unthinking drone.

It’s time to try a place which nourishes children’s hungry minds and heals their energetic spirits and #FUTURE SCHOOL is here for you!!!
