The lessons include practical exercises and constructive feedback, fostering a supportive environment for honing writing skills and fostering a love for self-expression through words.
Thinking Skills: Our Thinking Skills curriculum for students is designed to cultivate critical and creative thinking abilities. Through a variety of engaging activities and exercises, students develop problem-solving techniques, analytical reasoning, and decision-making skills. The curriculum encourages students to think independently and approach challenges with a strategic mindset.
