Philsophy
One of the pillars of SLI pedagogy is that education should be practical and that children are never too young to place their efforts and acquired skills within context. The framework of our Entrepreneurship unit is structured around this fundamental philosophy. Students from preschool to Grade 6 are encouraged to use their advanced abilities in critical thinking, writing, math, data analysis, financial literacy, media production, coding, and public speaking to develop innovative business plans, identify consumer groups, develop marketing strategies, and present pitches to judges. The results are inspiring!
