UK is a community of confident and effective English language communicators, fostering creativity, critical thinking and collaboration in a safe environment.
Language can be used to learn almost anything and our instruction should not be limited in teaching language alone.
We engage students by making real world connections
through exploration and high level questioning.
We inspire students to take ownership of their learning, fostering independence and active engagement.
Collective knowledge construction that favors the development of learning, communication and interaction skills.
Once upon a time, the world was a safe and beautiful place for all living things. However, over time, people began to forget the values that had made their world so special.
…In this time of darkness, four tribes emerged to lead the way towards a brighter future. Each tribe lived in a different part of the world, but they all shared a common goal: to make the world a better place. They formed the LAND of PROMISE, a place where the values of respect, empathy and openness would guide them in all their actions.
What if schools were less about preparing students for tests and more about preparing them for a lifetime of learning?
What if schools measured success not by what individuals did on exams but by what
groups were able to accomplish together?
What if understanding and application of skill and knowledge rather than the mere acquisition of knowledge were the goal?
What if schools took the development of students’ intellectual character as their highest calling?
