Themes

In the Senior Programme, in addition to teaching even more elaborate tools and concepts for navigating crucial conversations, leadership development, adolescent health, and emotional wellbeing, we have developed grade-wise themes to anchor the investigation of identity, self-concept, and to build global understanding. These themes are sequenced like a curriculum; as the children age, we provide new increasingly complex angles from which to analyse themselves and the world around them, while also teaching them a variety of analysis and inquiry methods. These themes are then explored within the following structures:

• Two-day session starters at the beginning of the term
• One-hour Circle Times each six-day cycle
• Class-designed and performed assemblies
• Overnight samvaads
