What is classical education?

Classical education at Brilliant Minds Academy emphasizes a well-rounded and developmentally appropriate approach to learning, rooted in classical principles. This educational philosophy seeks to cultivate a love for learning, critical thinking skills, and character development from an early age.

In the context of children aged 1 to 5, a classical education focuses on age-appropriate activities that encourage curiosity, exploration, and hands-on experiences. It emphasizes the development of foundational skills across various domains, including cognitive, social, emotional, and physical aspects.

Key features of classical education for this age group include:

Holistic Development: The approach acknowledges the importance of addressing the whole child, fostering cognitive, emotional, and social growth simultaneously.

Classical Principles: Drawing inspiration from classical education, the curriculum may incorporate elements such as exposure to classical literature, art, and music to instill a sense of cultural literacy and appreciation for timeless knowledge.

Critical Thinking: The emphasis is on nurturing critical thinking skills by encouraging children to question, analyze, and explore the world around them.

Individualized Learning: Recognizing the unique qualities of each child, classical education tailors activities to meet the developmental needs of the individual, fostering a sense of autonomy and self-discovery.

Experiential Learning: The curriculum often includes hands-on activities and play-based learning, recognizing the importance of experiential engagement in early childhood development.
