Philosophy

Philosophy of Cariad International School

1. 1. Love to Learn, Love to Read
   We believe that learning and reading are the keys to unlocking a world of knowledge and imagination. Our mission is to nurture a lifelong passion to empower students to explore, grow, and thrive.

   
   

2. 2. Education Within Nature
   We are committed to an education that harmonizes with nature. Nestled within serene woodlands, our school offers students the perfect opportunity to connect with the natural world, fostering a sense of wonder, environmental stewardship, and a deeper understanding of their place in it.

   
   

3. 3. A Blended Approach to Education
   Our curriculum integrates the innovative principles of Finnish education with the structured approach of the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). As students progress from early years to primary and high school, we enrich their learning with collaborative programs with Welsh schools, providing a holistic and globally minded education.

   
   

4. 4. Individual Growth and Care
   Small class sizes allow us to focus on each child's unique needs, ensuring every voice is heard, every potential is nurtured, and every emotional need is respected. Our supportive environment helps students to flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.

   
   

5. 5. Global Citizenship
   We aim to cultivate compassionate, responsible global citizens who embrace diversity, think critically, and act with empathy and purpose in an interconnected world.

   
   

6. 6. A Sanctuary for Reading
   Our library, set amidst the trees, serves as a haven where students can lose themselves in books and discover the joy of reading. This tranquil space fosters curiosity, creativity, and a profound love for storytelling and knowledge.
