Our World at Castle School

At Castle School we want students to develop a comprehensive understanding of the world around them, so they can navigate it safely and understand themselves and their communities. We encourage students to be curious learners, exploring the world around them through experimentation and discovery. We also believe in exposing students to a rich variety of experiences from cultures different from their own, so that they can learn to be curious, tolerant, compassionate citizens of the world. 

The 'Our World' area of learning covers the academic subjects of humanities, science, food technology, and computing. Formal students will study these subjects discretely, or combined in cross-curricular STEM projects. Semi-formal and pre-formal learners will explore these subjects through sensory play, life skills, forest school, and a variety of other social and community experiences.
