Welcome to The Saklan School, a true project-based school where connection and curiosity drive learning. At Saklan, we approach school differently with an aim to transform how society thinks about education. Our approach gives students ownership over and connection to their learning, making a love of learning and rigorous academics the natural outcome.
Long before Project Based Learning (PBL) became a buzzword, Saklan recognized its value. True PBL requires both teachers and students to step outside their comfort zones. It hinges on the belief that students are fully capable of driving their learning process, with their questions and curiosity as the primary engine. The result? Students become intrinsically motivated, explore meaningful questions, and see their teachers as partners in their educational journey.
In essence, Saklan’s approach to PBL mirrors the way we learn in real life: something sparks our interest, we ask questions, we dive deep, and we learn.
Another cornerstone of Saklan is our deep connection with each student. We truly "see" every child—we know their strengths, passions, challenges, and sensitivities. By understanding what intrinsically motivates them, we can nurture their academic and emotional growth. This personalized attention fosters a culture of connection and compassion throughout our community, creating a supportive environment where all students thrive.
Every child has immense potential. Let’s embark on a journey together to inspire and empower your child to reach their fullest potential. We warmly invite you to visit our campus, meet our exceptional teachers and students, and experience firsthand the vibrant, nurturing environment that defines Saklan.
Warm regards,
David O'Connell
