Welcome

We began our journey into education many years ago, changing our practice and convictions with each step across two continents where we were sad to still see so many places where kids are 'shut down' at school yet thrilled to discover those where children thrive. We wanted to understand why.


Having a daughter introduced us to the Reggio Emilia approach, of which we are convinced, whilst at the same time adoring the challenge and submersion in nature and the great outdoors enabled by Forest Schools and the secular spirituality of Steiner. We're also very curious about Sudbury Schools for when our girl's a little older. We only learnt this year that for the past five years, Reggio Emilia have been trialling an Elementary school at the International Centre which we got the chance to visit in November 2016. We will continue to explore the benefits of each approach.
