We are a unique
educational
approach
The AG Class approach to education uses the most current educational trends, and puts them into practice. Our approach is currently focused on utilising a growth mindset to encourage children to take on and conquer new challenges.
This class​ operates on the belief that intelligence is malleable and with challenge and effort, can be improved, developed and grown.
​
The class focus is on developing a growth mindset to allow our children to achieve as close to their potential as possible. To do this, we encourage children to;
​
We do not offer grades or compare children to one another. Instead we praise children for their process and and encourage teamwork as a strategy to improve and promote individual growth.
​
The AG Class aims to foster children who;
​
-
have a balanced attitude to positive and negative feedback
-
have a growth mindset when they fail
-
work well in teams
-
are self-reflective and able to take responsibility for their own learning
-
embrace challenge
-
have the skills they need to succeed in whatever challenge they wish to pursue
Risking effort
We often view effort as something that people with a deficiency have to apply. People who are seen as gifted do not need to apply effort.
​
This is completely false. Everyone must apply effort to develop their gift into a talent. But applying effort is often a scary and bumpy road to take.
Facing failure
We challenge children to accept failure as an essential part of success.
​
Once we are able to see failure as a learning opportunity, we are able to take the failure and feedback and learn from it. Failure does not mean that your journey is over - failure is an essential part of learning.
