Teaching approach of the school |
TCIGS' aim is simple – TCIGS wants to equip its students with the right skills to thrive amidst the challenges and changes they will face in their futures. TCIGS think sthe best way to achieve this is through the IB curriculum delivered in small, supportive, co-educational classes using a combination of a Harkness methodology and by promoting good habits and a genuine work ethic in the students. The Harkness Method is a teaching and learning method involving students seated at a large, boardroom style table to discuss ideas in an encouraging, open-minded environment, placing a strong emphasis on confident communication; a concept that runs deep in the International Baccalaureate. |
