• Child-Centered Learning: We adopt the Montessori principle of child-centered learning, encouraging students to explore their interests at their own pace. Our classrooms are designed to promote independence, with a variety of hands-on activities that accommodate different learning styles.

• Prepared Environment: We provide a prepared environment that supports self-directed learning, allowing students to choose their activities and fostering a sense of autonomy and responsibility.

2. Reggio Emilia Philosophy

• Project-Based Learning: We embrace the Reggio Emilia focus on project-based learning, encouraging students to engage deeply with topics that interest them. This approach enhances critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

• Role of the Environment: Viewing our environment as a "third teacher," we offer spaces rich with resources that inspire inquiry and discovery. This includes our arts-integrated classrooms and outdoor educational areas, which stimulate creativity and interaction.

• Holistic Development: Reflecting the Waldorf emphasis on holistic development, our curriculum addresses intellectual, emotional, and physical growth. We incorporate arts, movement, and practical activities to nurture well-rounded individuals.

• Emphasis on Imagination and Creativity: Valuing imagination and creativity, we integrate storytelling, music, and drama, fostering a rich inner life and a love for learning.

4. Core Values

• Core Principle: Character and Compassion: Our Core Values emphasize kindness, integrity, respect, and responsibility. We encourage students to make thoughtful choices, build empathy, and contribute positively to their communities.
  
  
• In Practice at Eden Creative Arts: These values are woven into daily interactions—through collaborative projects, acts of service, and reflection on personal growth. Students learn that how we treat one another is as important as what we learn, shaping a culture of respect and purpose.
