Aurinko Academy

Aurinko Academy is blessed with the selfless support of well meaning parents and members of the community that we lovingly refer to as Friends of Aurinko.As a result we have seen Aurinko live up to its image of being a truly progressive school, one that changes and adapts with time to provide the best to our children. Aurinko started off for children but has evolved to become a learning and sharing pace for teachers, parents and the extended community. As our children grow, go onto colleges with clarity and take on various careers in line with their passions, it is truly satisfying to see the journey… Both theirs and ours! As we roll out Entrepreneurs, Ashoka Fellows and Happy Children, it is a vision truly manifested!Children socially co-construct knowledge with peers and adults The Aurinko teacher is a facilitator of learning, rather than a director The children are active participants in their own learning The curriculum emerges from the interests, past knowledge, and experiences of the children and teachers Learning becomes an active process; the focus is upon the learner more than on the subject or lesson to be taught Through observation, assessment and reflection we are able to identify the impact of the methodology on the child. This is used to modify the environment, content, teaching strategies, and differentiation of instruction to suit the child’s needs.
