Humanism

Humanism is all about putting the whole person at the center of learning. It focuses on students’ emotions, creativity, and personal growth, not just their academic skills. Humanist teachers believe learning should be meaningful, self-directed, and connected to students’ interests and needs. They encourage students to explore who they are, build confidence, and develop a love for learning. In short, humanism is about nurturing the person—not just teaching facts or skills.
