Explore, Question, Shape

Explore, question, shape: Reach knowledge through intuition!
According to Pestalozzi, middle school education should enhance not only students’ academic success but also their social, emotional, and practical skills. In this process, students learn critical thinking, how to use scientific methods, and how to express themselves.
We nurture individuals who question and explore.
Our educational philosophy, which supports both the academic and personal development of our students, is built on curiosity, experience, and self-confidence.
1
Personal Identity and Self-Confidence
“Discover your path, develop yourself.” Middle school is a period when students begin to explore their identities and build self-confidence. Our approach to education is designed to be supportive and encouraging.

Critical and Independent Thinking
“Don’t memorize—understand! Don’t imitate—question!” In Pestalozzi’s educational approach, it is essential that students form their own ideas and develop a critical perspective. During middle school, they are encouraged to learn by establishing cause-and-effect relationships.

Scientific and Logical Thinking
“Science is the path of curiosity and discovery.” Science and math classes are supported through experiments, observations, and problem-solving processes to help students develop analytical thinking and research skills.

4 Strengthening Language and Expression Skills
“Express your thoughts clearly, shape the world.” Students develop their reading, writing, and speaking skills. Alongside native language education, they gain abilities in critical reading, creative writing, and effective communication.
5
Expressing Oneself Through Art and Creativity
“Art is the most powerful language of the soul.” Middle school is a period where students express themselves through art, music, drama, and visual arts. Artistic activities support emotional development and encourage original thinking.
6
Technology and Digital Literacy
“Use technology to create.” In today’s world, it is essential for students to gain access to information, media literacy, and digital skills. Technology is used not only for consumption but also for creation and problem-solving.

Nature-Connected and Hands-On Learning
“Learn from nature, grow with nature.” Students develop ecological awareness and gain insight into sustainable living. Agricultural activities, nature excursions, and environmental projects are essential parts of this process.

Social Responsibility and Civic Awareness
“Learn not only for yourself but also for your community.” Students are encouraged to embrace values such as cooperation, volunteerism, social awareness, and ethics. School projects and community service activities help build this consciousness.
