Philosophy of Education
Ciboney Centre for Excellence nurtures the continuing growth of children’s knowledge and understanding of themselves and their world. It provides a safe, caring, stimulating environment where learning flourishes.
Our programme recognizes that children are individuals and every child is unique. We accommodate the broad range of children’s needs, their learning rates and styles, and their knowledge, experiences, and interests to facilitate continuous learning. We achieve this through an integrated curriculum incorporating a variety of instructional models, strategies, and resources. Ciboney honours the development of the whole child. It reflects an understanding that children learn through active involvement and play and that nature of learning and the essential role of language in mediating thought, communication, and learning.
The programme views assessment and evaluation as integral components of the teaching-learning process. Assessment and evaluation support the child’s learning; they assist the teacher in making appropriate educational decisions. Ciboney Centre for Excellence values teachers and parents as partners in the child’s education. Teachers and parents consult and collaborate to create for the child a climate of respect, success, and joy necessary for lifelong learning.
