The SLC teaching strategy
At SLC we believe that preparing our learners for the challenges in life and helping them to develope into well-balanced individuals is just as important as teaching towards academic success. We focus on positive character building, acknowledging each learner’s uniqueness.
Individual attention
- At SLC, learners receive individual attention while working at a pace that suits their own needs, whether slower or faster.
Customized teaching
- We do not do classroom teaching, but focus on the strengths of each learner individually to guide them through the curriculum and encourage them to work independently.
Parent involvement
- We believe that parent involvement plays a large role in the success of our learners and we encourage regular and open communication with the parents at all times.
