At SCR World School, we prepare students to be future-ready for an evolving and increasingly global society as they develop physically, intellectually, emotionally, and ethically for success in adult life. In addition to the focus on knowledge, understanding of cultures and concepts, students are best served if they are learning to learn; that is, in developing the skills and attitudes toward future learning. This will prepare them for higher education and subsequent employment.
We aim to nurture each student in a stimulating environment of academic excellence, cultural diversity, and mutual respect. Each student is able to participate in a multitude of experiences, leading to tremendous intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and physical growth. We help them recognize their talents and hone their skills, instill positive values, teamwork, and make learning fun. The need for teamwork as we face growing economic, health, and political inter-dependencies brings honing collaborative traits into sharp focus.
Instilling a growth mindset involves nurturing the belief that intelligence and abilities are not fixed traits but can be developed through persistent effort and dedication. It begins by encouraging individuals to view challenges as opportunities for learning and personal development rather than insurmountable obstacles.
Constructive feedback should be embraced as a valuable tool for improvement, emphasizing that it is not a reflection of inherent capabilities. Recognizing and celebrating the importance of effort and perseverance, regardless of immediate outcomes, reinforces the idea that dedication is a key factor in achieving success. Failures should be reframed as valuable learning experiences, encouraging individuals to extract lessons and insights for future improvement.
