Lumiar School Uk

At Lumiar, we've reimagined school. Lumiar School UK is a progressive, independent school in Wiltshire/Somerset for children aged 4-14. Our mission is to send children out into the world with a strong sense of who they are, what they love, and how they are going to make a difference in the world! We know that self-belief and a sense of purpose are the foundations on which happy and successful lives are built. At Lumiar, we are."Grounded in joy." At our school, wellbeing is as important as doing well. We know that relaxed, happy children are better equipped to learn so we work hard to make Lumiar a place that the children are excited to come to."Intentionally small." We want our students to be “free to be me”. Every child is unique, and we adapt our approach to suit them. This is made easier by our small class sizes: we never exceed 18 people in a class, so every child is deeply known by their tutor."Hands-on." We believe learning should feel relevant, real and tangible and we place a big focus on hands-on experience and learning by doing."Child-led." We nurture curiosity by letting the children lead the way! They tell us what they want to learn about and then, with their tutor’s support, they create exciting and inspiring projects that they can’t wait to get stuck into. The Lumiar education model was devised in Brazil 15 years ago by a group of pioneering educators. Their intention was to transform how and what children learn to empower them to create the future, rather than just keep up with it. It is recognised by Unesco, Stanford University and Microsoft as one of the 12 most innovative education systems in the world.
