Educational Philosophy
We believe that education is the most important factor in a country’s development. Our education system will be discussion-centric, efficient, merit-based, and modern, and will ultimately be the key to our success.
- Our classrooms will have discussions, not lectures. We’ll analyze literature and solve problems, not read from textbooks. We believe that the most effective learning happens through discussions, where students learn the underlying principles of the concept’s discovery in meaningful, instructor-guided conversations with their peers. Rather than memorization of facts and formulas, we promote critical thinking and greater depth.
- Gapla’s curriculum will be modern, efficient, and individualized. Traditional education repeats concepts through different curricula and tries to fit all students into one curriculum. As early as seven years old, Gaplan students will be tracked into dynamic learning paths, with innovative progress tracking built through technology.
- We believe that a merit-based education system is one of the best motivators for academic success. Admissions to competitive schools will be based on academics, not unrelated indicators such as race, ability to pay, or ability to play sports. The motivation that a fair, merit-based education system provides is in giving a real, fair pathway for success.
