Home • Learning Framework

At The Orchid School the Learning Environment is very dynamic designed to nurture curiosity and personal growth. Our learning environment is designed on “The EIGHT R’s”.

Theory and Philosophy

We acknowledge that no single educational philosophy offers all the solutions, particularly in the ever-evolving learning environment of our students.

Our school’s educational approach is drawn from a diverse range of sources, aiming to combine, choose, and integrate elements, concepts, and principles from various educational philosophies.

In today’s diverse world, with a multitude of races, regions, religions, cultures, and languages, The Orchid School strives to merge traditional and modern, Western and Eastern philosophical principles.

TOS Learning Approach

Our curriculum envisages integrated learning experiences for children. In order to achieve this, a strong emphasis is placed on planning. Within the framework of the curriculum, there is a flexibility to plan a programme that is appropriate to the individual circumstances and to the needs, aptitudes and interests of the children. We present content, approaches and methodologies in such ways to adapt and interpret the curriculum where necessary to meet learners’ own unique requirements. Learning thought experiences/ opportunities, through play and fun, understanding and application forms the crux of our learning approach.
