Educational Framework

Last update: Februray 2, 2024

Our educational framework is built on three interconnected pillars: COIL, Skill-Focus, and Student-Centered. 

Together, these pillars create a dynamic learning environment that empowers educators and students to become active, empathetic, and skilled global citizens.

COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning):

Through COIL, we connect classrooms across borders, enabling students and educators to collaborate on projects that address global challenges. This pillar fosters cross-cultural communication, teamwork, and a deeper understanding of diverse perspectives, laying the foundation for global citizenship.

Skill-Focus:

We prioritize the development of 21st-century skills like critical thinking, digital literacy, and problem-solving. By organizing learning around practical, transferable competencies, we ensure students are equipped to navigate and contribute to an interconnected world.

Student-Centered:

At the heart of our framework is the belief that students are active agents in their learning journey. We empower them to take ownership of their education, co-create solutions, and voice their ideas, ensuring they feel valued and capable of driving change.

Together, these pillars create a holistic approach to education that not only prepares students for the future but also inspires them to become proactive, empathetic, and collaborative global citizens
