School Notes
The world has changed and it's time for education to catch
up. At La Scuola International School Silicon Valley we
believe that to inspire brave learners to shape the future, we must
believe that:
- Children are innately intelligent and curious.
- The provocative questions they ask ignite a process of arriving at answers with peers and teachers, not an opportunity for us to tell them the answer.
- Our role as a community is to nurture the child intellectually, physically, emotionally, and to always do so with joy.
- Children learn through meaningful experiences and exploration of the world, and doing so in a beautiful environment leads to a love of learning for life.
- Being open to the world across languages, culture, and subjects increases their ability to learn while finding beauty in life.
