Educational Background Information

Essence of Maria Montessori’s educational philosophy

Help me to do it myself and help me to think for myself.

Maria Montessori’s educational philosophy offers a structured approach that promotes self-motivation, enables individualization, and builds on a sense of achievement. It encourages children’s curiosity as well as playful and independent learning and thinking.

Learning with Montessori materials is multisensory and action-oriented. We learn better when more senses are active, and we can remember more when we are more active in our learning.

Fabian Grolimund’s main principle

Gaps lead to frustration at school. It is important to prevent gaps. We build a solid foundation through our performance evaluations and individualization.

Remo Largo’s core message

Every child is unique, and a good school responds to this through individualization.

Attitude towards digital media in the classroom

We are active beings with five senses. At the Kinder Campus private school, we therefore learn everything first in the analog, real world. Healthy motor skills promote cognitive abilities. Once basic skills have been developed, we use digital media in a targeted manner, e.g. for research and for creating presentations.
