-How we do learning at asaac-

Our unique educational framework integrates Nature, Nurture, Nourish, and Need, supported by the RiWiTiTi© learning methodology, to foster holistic, adaptable learning for children of all abilities.

Children explore science, geography, and wellbeing topics, building a profound understanding of the natural world, ecosystems, human impact and sustainable living. This nurtures curiosity, critical thinking and environmental responsibility.

  • Science: life cycles, reproduction, plant and animal roles, ecosystems.

  • Geography: physical landscapes, climate, environmental changes, conservation.

  • Wellbeing: growing food, nature’s medicine, sustainable living practices.
