The Waldorf learning environment emphasizes the use of natural materials and natural elements to foster children’s creativity and imagination.

ทฤษฎีพหุปัญญา (Multiple Intelligence)

The theory of multiple intelligences was developed by renowned psychologist Howard Gardner, who proposed the idea that human intelligence does not have just one form, but rather consists of many different forms.

Learning unit

Teacher Chanattha Chinsuphakul has adapted the curriculum and teaching techniques from the United States to be appropriate for the Ministry of Education’s curriculum by using the Integrated Teaching Approach, Thematic-Based Learning, and Project-Based Learning to create meaningful and systematically connected teaching. The teaching will be held in English by an experienced native teacher in each learning unit. Children will learn important topics that are relevant to real life, which helps children understand the content deeply and apply it to their daily lives effectively. This is done through Thematic-Based Learning, which links together many subjects such as language, art, mathematics, science, and social studies, so that children can learn from many perspectives. Project-Based Learning is also used to promote learning that focuses on practical practice. Students will participate in challenging and real-life projects and work together in groups.

Using the Integrated Teaching Approach effectively connects and harmonizes the content taught in each learning unit in terms of intellectual development, life skills, and social learning, which will help build skills necessary for daily life. The learning process focuses on developing children to have a thorough and profound understanding and be able to apply the knowledge they have gained to their real lives effectively.
