Pedagogy

Broadening Horizons With A Comprehensive Learning Approach

At Taurian, our academic philosophy revolves around comprehensive learning, allowing personal journeys to intertwine with collaborative experiences. Our students develop a vast range of skills, from performing advanced lab experiments to mastering coding, from translating foreign poetry to engaging with complex philosophical debates. We aim to push beyond their perceived limits, encouraging them to redefine what is possible.

Through our curriculum, students discover cross-disciplinary passions, transitioning from actors to athletes or scientists to philosophers. This focus on diverse academic and character development prepares our graduates for unique, interdisciplinary careers.

At the core of our pedagogy is a singular emphasis on building literacy and numeracy skills, proficiencies that we’ve identified as foundational toward academic, artistic, and athletic success, and community and societal progress.

Numeracy: The Universal Language of Reasoning

Finding reason and meaning in numbers builds the right agility of mind, which is essential to tackling various life problems, be it at school, home, or work. At Taurian, we weave numeracy into all aptitudes, activities, and disciplines. No longer limited to just mathematics, students learn to apply the art of numbers to various contexts of life.

Literacy: The Foundation of Thoughtful Expression

Language and the written word are the greatest human inventions. We’ve designed a curriculum that empowers students to make the most of this gift – understand, evaluate, and engage with written text and spoken words to participate in society, achieve success, and develop their potential and knowledge effectively.

Instructional Framework

At Taurian World School, we champion a holistic education model that extends beyond mere technical skills to encompass all facets of human experience. Rejecting the notion that knowledge is only for professional gain, we embrace a broad educational approach.

Our curriculum brings together social sciences, sciences, mathematics, and languages into a seamless whole, mirroring the interconnectedness of real-life challenges. In fact, our primary education (Grade 1 to 5) is completely textbook-free. Such unique learning experiences are present throughout the other grades, too.

In short, we prepare our students not just for careers but for lives rich with understanding, continuous learning, freedom, and responsibility.

STEAM Learning

The great Leonardo Da Vinci famously said to build a complete mind, you must:

“Study the science of art. Study the art of science. Develop your senses — especially learn how to see. Realise that everything connects to everything else.”

At Taurian World School, learning transcends traditional boundaries, whether it’s constructing models with a 3D printer, experiencing the grit of a construction site, or merging photography with biology at our lush campus. Our approach nurtures a broad spectrum of skills, showcasing that learning is not just about accumulation but about making connections.

Outdoor Immersive Education

At Taurian World School, learning transcends classroom walls. Our lush, green campus is not just a backdrop but a vibrant classroom alive with flora and fauna. As a living classroom, our grounds offer students firsthand experiences with nature’s cycles, from observing migratory birds to studying seasonal flora.

This form of experiential learning does more than educate – it sparks cognitive and behavioral development, embedding lasting knowledge and critical reasoning skills that prepare students for the complexities of life ahead.
