Junior

Learning at Junior School is an exciting opportunity to explore beyond the Early Years Education. Some principles from the Reggio Emilia philosophy are still very much present: exploring and reflecting, among others, in a series of experiences and opportunities that will challenge stimulate and enable all to achieve in a bilingual environment that fosters respect and support. Woodlands School students are encouraged to become resourceful, reflective, reciprocal and resilient people.

In order to encourage the development of multiple intelligences, the school offers Sports, Physical Education, IT, Music, Art, Drama, Dance and Taekwon-do lessons. The school also offers pedagogical and psychological support.

At Woodlands we are based on Vygotsky’s concept of «Zone of Proximal Development», defined as «the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance, or in collaboration with more capable peers»(Vygotsky, 1978).

Students at Junior School always come first. You can expect your child to be looked after and receive an excellent education, aiming at equipping all students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for personal success and a smooth transition to Secondary School.
