we encourage students to

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.500
take charge of their learning our creative

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:15.000
Learners choose which Center in the interest

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.500
them the most which objects which topics

00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:20.000
and the teachers then gravitate intentionally

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.500
towards the students this approach

00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:25.000
builds creative and confident Learners because

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.500
we want to represent the whole child

00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:30.000
they learn your child

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.500
and they learn which way your child learns and

00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:35.000
they teach them that way high

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.500

00:02:12.500 --> 00:02:15.000
