Our philosophy
Kinma provides a curriculum designed to encourage each child to discover full academic, physical and social potential, encouraging children to become flexible thinkers and independent, self-directed learners.
Central to Kinma's approach is our Core and Guiding principles, our unique learning program, time for creative free play integrated daily into our curriculum, assessment rather than testing and building healthy strong relationships.
Our Core Principles
Kinma promotes an active, creative and generative environment which respects and nurtures the individuality of its members, and which actively encourages children to reach their potential in all areas.
We believe that an educational environment which encourages debate, discussion, evaluation of current educational thought and research by all its members is more likely to be innovative and to continue to address the most pertinent of issues in terms of the future needs of its children
Relationships
Kinma believes that involving children in a supportive, democratic community allows children to face direct personal responsibility for their actions.
Through the Kinma community, children develop the ability to tolerate diversity of opinion, to speak out against inappropriate behaviour and to work collaboratively on creating and delivering group projects. Kinma children learn that their education and other life choices are their own responsibility.
