Curriculum and Philosophy

SOP recognizes that an important aspect of education reform is the identification of methodologies that build bridges connecting disciplines. Because the arts focus on the creative process, they offer unique possibilities for encouraging collaboration among students and teachers. Interdisciplinary teaching and learning are based upon a philosophy of education that emphasizes the exploration and discovery of analogies, relationships, and metaphors.

Creativity is as important now in education as literacy and we should treat it with the same status. Students are seen here looking at the world from a different perspective.

SOP’s approach requires students and teachers to apply the process of inquiry and integrate specific disciplinary skills and knowledge into a broader context. Innovative interdisciplinary teaching begins with questions, unites teachers and students as learners and investigators, and makes innovative use of community resources.

SOP is recognized for its unique creative educational programming. As a result, SOP has been invited by the Ministry of Social and Family Development and individual schools to establish after-school programs.
