Synergy Private School, Cape Town: Inspired by the SynEDgy Schooling approach, Synergy is a Pre and Primary school in Cape Town that emphasises accelerated academic learning while developing a child’s communication and relationship building skills.
Curriculum: Our curriculum and all our activities draw fully on cognitive, emotional and symbolic experiences, seeking to ensure rich and meaningful learning for each child and the group. Central to the curriculum is personal awareness and responsibility, emotional intelligence, the articulation of our identities, attitude and the development of learning skills. The general environment is to encourage students, teachers and parents to learn directly from their experiences (academic and life) and to provide space and support for reflection and review.
The Synergy School Approach: Synergy School provides an environment where children, parents and teachers experience a powerful and meaningful life of living and learning together. This is accomplished through three essential components of The SynEDgy Schooling Approach:
1. The Emergent Curriculum invites children to co-create their learning environment and academic content so that it becomes relevant and meaningful to them. (see below for more on this topic)
2. The Effective Parenting Programme facilitates parents in awareness and skills, supporting them in parenting their children consciously. (see below for more on this topic)
3. We focus on empowering the children, teachers and parents. Empowering people happens through powerful communication and relationship skills. All teachers and staff go through extensive communication training and personal development processes (Life Coach training). This enables powerful leadership and communication skills that result in empowered children who experience their own potential and have the belief that “I can..” (see below for more on this topic). Think it it like this... As a professional life coach, these teachers can coach the Directors and Mangers of any organisation
