Life Skills
The D-PREP Life Skills curriculum is a distinct program developed by the school, encompassing four key areas: self understanding, social understanding, livelihood, and active citizenship. It is guided by the D-PREP vision elements of Dream, Discover, and Deliver, CO-CREATORS values, and life truths, which underpin each of these domains.
Design Thinking
Design Thinking serves as a problem-solving approach used by our students, fostering a creator’s mindset rather than a consumer’s. These skills enable them to conceive business ideas, innovate products or services, craft business plans, and identify methods to secure funding.
Reggio Emilia Inspired
We hold the belief that every child is a capable and naturally curious learner. The Light Studio is thoughtfully crafted with key elements of the Reggio Emilia philosophy, where teachers take on the role of observers, gaining valuable insights from children’s explorations.
Experiential Learning
Expeditionary learning ignites a student’s imagination and enthusiasm for learning. It serves as a potent model for instilling the courage and compassion required not just to dream of a better world but also to actively explore and contribute to our communities in order to bring this vision to life.
Fieldwork
We emphasize fieldwork over traditional field trips. Fieldwork promotes deeper learning through immersive experiences, in contrast to the typically shorter and more recreational nature of traditional field trips.
Expeditionary Learning
Expeditionary learning sparks students’ imagination and a passion for acquiring knowledge. It serves as a compelling method for demonstrating the courage and compassion necessary not only to envision a better world but also to actively explore and contribute to the betterment of our communities, turning that vision into reality.
