At Khaldunia, education is more than what is learnt in the classroom. Learning occurs anywhere and any time as students carry the excitement of intellectual and personal discovery and the spirit of adventure and participation from the classroom into all phases of school life.
We see our purpose as raising student aspirations and achievements. In doing this we are creating an environment in which students can grow from the dependence of childhood to the growing independence of thought and action of young adulthood.
The School does not tread the straight and narrow path of conventional education. Textual knowledge, though a valuable commodity, is no longer sufficient to meet the dynamic challenges of modern society. The multi-disciplinary approach to learning, the acquiring of transferable skills and the nurturing of constructive self-discipline is increasingly determining the substance of education.
In designing and teaching the curriculum at Khaldunia, it is our aim, at multiple levels, to reveal the linkages between different fields of knowledge. We aim to bring together the various facets of the liberal arts, physical and social sciences, avoiding a too rigid emphasis on either one on its own.
The learning experience is not meant to be a fragmented one; we do not rely on isolationist teaching methods; since ultimately the skills students acquire must be transferable between subject and discipline, later between job and career and most significantly, between the classroom and the real world.
Within the curriculum therefore, the emphases we provide are:
- linguistic, literary and communicative
- mathematical and scientific
- artistic, cultural and creative
- moral and ethical
- physical and manual
