Mission More information in the schoolplan.
"We want to support and educate
children in their growth to social, creative, self conscious,
independent and well developed personalities, who will make a
positive and effective contribution to society in our region
and our country. We want them to be persons who take responsibility
for their own future, own people, fellow countrymen and global
well being."
Vision
"In the 21st century
we see a lot of development all over the world. By the life-long
involvement & efforts of both Students, teaching & non-teaching
Staff in the school; we want to enable the pupils to learn with
Mind, Heart & Body. We want them to be prepared for the future
of their own choice with a sound knowledge of their own cultures.
We want them to be conscious of the values of their background
and of the contribution they can make to their future by working
& living in a constructive and thoughtful way. We want them
to support Nepal in this modern world. We want to provide opportunities
for all parents and children, not looking at their financial
affairs but looking at their attitude towards our conviction
that everyone who really puts in the effort to develop him/herself
will succeed to make a better life for all. All teachers will
support and council each pupil at his/ her own level and guide
him / her to want to enlarge his / her competences in a natural
democratic way."
Teaching system of Sapana School
The playing of young children is the natural way of learning.
By playing they develop their body, a lot of physical abilities
and skills. The natural target is to become independent beings.
In Sapana School we have chosen
for learning through experience or so to say the natural way
of learning.
We have seen that this way of learning gives integrated- and
meaningful learning. We have looked closer to the meaning of
projects, their process and results on several levels. We have
concluded that the four pillars of education, as given in the
UNESCO report, support project-work as a way of learning, as
didactic system.
Jacques Delors wrote in 1996 a report on education
of the 21st century for UNESCO. In it he discerns
THE FOUR PILARS OF EDUCATION
" learning to know - means to learn how you can acquire
knowledge, to understand and use the process of learning in an
effective way
" learning to do - means to learn to translate knowledge
into practice and practice into knowledge - to make or invent
things
" learning to be - means to learn who you are and
to develop personal abilities, also to develop emotional and
social skills to communicate effective with one self and others
and to co-operate
" learning to live - means to learn to integrate
all this knowledge to settle, to provide own livelihood, to live
a healthy and satisfactory life, a precious human life.
So: stream of information --- practical use --- personal behaviour
--- successful life
We have chosen six themes over
the school year and the themes are the same for all grades, although
of course for every higher grade a higher level.
In the gradation of the matter of tuition we connect last years
experience and the knowledge of the students with the 'new round'
of the learning process.
Step by step the students acquire more experience and knowledge
and the earlier 'picked-up' knowledge will be refreshed. More information in the schoolplan.
