Multiple Intelligences
Whilst it is very important that everyone needs to learn how to read and write and as a school we must teach that. Sowilo also focuses on the multiple intelligences that every student brings to school. Just because students may not know how to write an answer to a questions it does not mean that they are not intelligent or academic, students may be able to show or talk about it. Sowilo believes in enhancing these multiple intelligences and showing to students that they do have knowledge and understanding about subjects and that writing it down is only one form of intelligence.
Our lower school and whole school programs focus highly on the ability for students to illustrate knowledge in the various forms of multiple intelligences. We have a large range of programs that are hands on, different and very intersting.
