Korowal is a small school, a community on a human scale, where teachers, parents, and students know each other, where learning accommodates every student’s talents and needs where no-one gets lost. Korowal is a human-centered school where relationships are the heart of the learning process. We educate the whole human being in a holistic way where we value empathy, creativity, resilience, and critical thinking. Korowal is a sustainable school where we aim for social, educational, and environmental sustainability. We value quality over quantity and context over content where we allow time for a childhood where students are not ranked against each other because education is not a race. Korowal is an integrated school where the curriculum encourages immersion and interdisciplinary study where creative and formal work are integrated where learning groups transcend age boundaries. In the 21st century, schools must provide students with academic skills and the personal strength to deal with a demanding and unpredictable future. More than ever before, we need to be independent, adaptable, and creative in our thinking. At Korowal, we aim to give young people the time and care necessary to develop themselves and their abilities to prepare for an exciting and complex world. By emphasizing the social relationships at the core of education, Korowal aims to bring these different needs together, giving students a confident sense of themselves and strengthening their ability to work with and learn from others. Our curriculum is based on the mandatory requirements of the Board of Studies but has been carefully designed. To be sensitive to the needs and talents of individual students. To operate flexibly within multiple aged learning groups. To enhance cognitive ability, critical thinking, and creativity. To integrate creativity with formal work. To integrate separate learning areas within an interdisciplinary perspective (via main lessons and focus studies.) This maximizes children’s intrinsic interest in learning. To allow for immersion and thus to develop an extended concentration span. To emphasize quality. We ensure that the school provides quality materials for all academic and creative work and play. Teachers and students are expected to take time to plan, think through, and complete their work. We encourage students to take pride in their work and in the sense of personal achievement that arises from it.- Korowal is a small school, a community on a human scale, where teachers, parents, and students know each other, where learning accommodates every student’s talents and needs where no-one gets lost.
