Effective learning starts as a dialogue, not a monologue.

How can we Prepare our children for a future so unpredictable?

We are at our most creative when we are relaxed.

The Couch aims to provide a relaxed and stimulating environment conducive to hatching, developing and synthesizing amazing ideas.

Ideas are most valuable when communicated coherently and confidently.

Courses at The Couch aim to provide the necessary process and structure to enable pupils to present their ideas coherently to the intended audience

As Educators, we prepare our pupils to be

Courageous in expressing their opinion

Curious about the world around them

Critical thinkers who are ready to question

Our approach makes pupils take an active role in their learning.

We demonstrate the relevancy of classroom knowledge by relating the concept to everyday scenarios or knowledge they have previously acquired.

To encourage collaborative learning, group discussions are used to explore contrasting views.

The opinion of each pupil is recognized and considered.

Project-based assignments allow pupils to apply and demonstrate what they have learnt in an open and supportive environment.

When pupils take ownership of their learning, they take pride in their work and become more engaged during class.

They learn to draw links between the knowledge available and learn to apply it to the task at hand, be it an Essay, Presentation or an Interview.

"We must develop a culture of innovation and creative abilities, and it starts young. But it will only happen if we give more space and time for young minds to develop these traits.”
