Wellspring Learning Community Mathaf Campus

[EduCativ]

Wellspring Learning Community aims to establish an inquiry-based learning environment in which students from diverse backgrounds are given every opportunity to realize their social, emotional, and academic capacities and talents. Our students will become confident, resourceful, creative, caring, responsible, and thinking citizens prepared to use their education to contribute in meaningful ways toward improving society, both locally and internationally.

In support of the mission, teachers and administrators work collaboratively in an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust to design, plan and provide a positive learning environment that builds on an ongoing process of self-assessment, evidence-based decision making, and continual improvement. At Wellspring we are committed to the following guiding principles:

• Establishing a safe and collaborative learning community that meets the needs of the students, school personnel, and parents.
• Maintaining well-kept, clean, and vibrant physical campus environments.
• Giving attention to the whole child by supporting students’ development in all domains, including the academic, linguistic, social, emotional, ethical, artistic, and physical.
• Making education relevant to the real world and children’s life experiences.
• Honoring diversity and individual differences.
• Promoting the development of strong multilingual abilities.
• Delivering an equitable education for all students.
• Holding ourselves accountable for students’ learning and school-based development.
• Putting in practice an interactive, creative approach to teaching and learning that combines the best elements of a variety of modern classroom instructional strategies to meet different learning abilities.
• Empowering teachers as professional decision-makers.

Wellspring Learning Community is the realization of a dream shared by a team of dedicated educators who believe that all the children of Lebanon and those coming from abroad deserve to study in a high-quality learning environment that opens up a space for developing all their talents and intellectual potential, as well as their capacity for understanding and caring about the world around them. Our dream can only be fully realized through the learning, accomplishments, and future needs of our students as they journey through life.

Wellspring literally means the source. Historians tell us that one of the leading theories of how Beirut was named is related to the Arabic word for a well or a source of water. Indeed the land on which the Wellspring Learning Community Mathaf campus now sits, located “jamb il Mathaf” was once rich in agricultural resources, full of olive and pomegranate groves. In naming the school, we had all this in mind, however, our true aim was to capture our belief that children are an infinitely renewable source of ideas, energy, and knowledge. We hope that our school will promote children’s natural predisposition to inquire and make sense of their experience in the world around them.
