To achieve their true potential, children must understand who they are and their place in the world around them. We have found that by placing this principle at the core of our approach, children are able to attain a high degree of learning.
Our pupils consistently achieve or exceed ‘age appropriate academic targets’ at the same time as having a fuller childhood with their families.
Professor Howard Gardner, a psychologist and professor of neuroscience from Harvard University, developed the theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) in 1983. These intelligences recognise that all individuals use specific aptitudes to complete certain tasks and as such, should be developed from an early age.
At Bloo House, these aptitudes form the core basis of our curriculum, offering a truly holistic environment for each child.
