Activity-based learning
Activity-based learning is about using the curriculum to take a creative approach to education and harnessing the flexibility provided through the curriculum to develop broad programmes of learning that work for your boys. It’s about providing educational opportunities that combine school-based and out-of-school, tertiary or community-based learning to engage them in education and keep them interested in staying at school.
