Celebrating Milestones: Tracking Your Child’s Progress in Learning

At EtonHouse, we implement the English National Curriculum in conjunction with an inquiry-led learning approach as our guiding philosophy. This curriculum is knowledge-based and progresses through various stages of learning.

Building Confidence in Children Through Independence

Children seek independence from a young age by trying to operate the sink tap, feed themselves, and take off their shoes, clothes, and even diapers.

The role of emotions in children who bite and how to manage them

Ms. Kath explains that biting is a typical behavior observed among infants. While it may not be a particularly enjoyable behavior to witness, it’s crucial to comprehend the underlying reasons for its occurrence and to investigate effective methods to discourage it.

Making Snowflakes! In the Bonsai class, the children excitedly painted a large piece of paper with blue paint and glitter. We then cut the paper into big, beautiful snowflakes to decorate our classroom door. With colorful strokes and playful creativity, we transformed the door into a winter wonderland!

Finnish Education

Finland’s schools have no uniforms, no entrance exams, no fees, no performance charts, and no standardized tests apart from 1 test taken at 15-years of age.  Children don’t start school until they are 7 years old and dividing children into sets based on ability is illegal.  Kids address teachers by their first names and nobody receives more than 30 minutes of homework.  Yet Finland has consistently been rated in the top 10 countries by PISA score (placing 9th in 2012).

Finland’s education system has been placing them in the top ten for a little over a decade however their system has been around for over 40 years.  It was implemented as a part of their economic recovery plan and its success was only validated in 2000 when the results of the first PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) were published.  The majority of countries that inhabit the top 10 alongside Finland are East Asian (Singapore, China-Macau-Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan) where great importance is placed on academics, testing, grades, and conformity.

Both types of education systems produce the world’s top students despite being vastly different to the point of being polar opposites in most cases.  Is there a “better” system?  Which system would you prefer for your children?
