EDNASian Manifesto
Life is one grand adventure.
I do not belong to the legions of losers
Who struggle with their inferiorities
And whose only choice is to survive.
I am meant to be the master of the universe;
The crown of creation.
I may emerge from my daily battles
Wounded but not defeated.
I believe in myself.
I’ve got what it takes.
I am a WINNER.

Educational Philosophy
The EDNAS Group of Schools believes in what Albert Einstein thought of education, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.” It follows a classical-traditional and eclectic educational system integrating various and progressive teaching and learning approaches and methods, such as Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory and Classroom Differentiated Learning, Waldorf or Rudolf Steiner’s Eurythmy and Form Drawing, Edward De Bono’s Six Thinking Hats, Project Based Learning, the Dynamic Learning Program (DLP), Inquiry and Thematic Learning, and Design Thinking. All these apply the five tenets of a Whole Child education – healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged – and within the P21 Framework incorporating 21st-century skills – Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Creativity.
