Authentic Learning

At NOK we see our role as facilitators in children’s learning. We observe and learn about each child’s unique interests, and their strengths and weaknesses. Our focus is on personalised, experiential learning – in involving children in their own future, the future of their community, and the future of society. Our environment challenges every learner, and as a small learning community we are able to respond to individual interests in a way that differs from mainstream school. By spending time with us children are able to retain their natural curiosity, and develop a lifelong desire to learn and question, an appreciation for friendship, a strong personal relationship with the learning community, and the commitment to be active citizens in their community.
