Curriculum and core elements

The Integral scheme of learning

A learner is a unique, complex and evolving individual who needs an education that acknowledges that uniqueness and complexity.

Life and learning at The Integral School

From subjects to the whole

The curriculum begins from an integral understanding of human nature and trains the instruments through which a child perceives, feels, thinks, acts and knows.

01

Senses

Development and refinement of all five senses for accurate perception.

02

Physical

Control, discipline, harmony and a conscious relationship with the body.

03

Vital

Training of senses, emotions, energies, desires and transformation of character.

04

Mental

Observation, attention, concentration, memory, judgement, imagination and thought control.

05

Psychic

Discovery of the inmost soul-being and its guidance in life.

06

Projects

Interdisciplinary work through which language, mathematics, science, art and practical capacities meet.

Project work

Learning through doing, observing and reflecting

Through a single project, a child may train body, mind and intellect; awaken inner capacities; and encounter language, mathematics, science and other areas in a living context.

The project is not an activity added to a subject. It is an organising context through which different forms of knowledge become connected.
