Learning and Teaching Philosophy

Powerful Learning at Ruyton provides opportunities for choice, flexibility and experiential learning underpinned by student voice, agency and impact in a global world.

We foster a love of learning and value questioning and curiosity. Through purposeful and authentic experiences, both collaborative and independent, students develop the knowledge, skills and understanding to take action and make a difference as compassionate and empowered global citizens.

Through the development of a growth mindset and meaningful learning relationships, learners respond to challenge with resilience and persistence. Engagement, feedback and endeavour are essential for learning.

Learning is personalised, providing targeted learning experiences and using a range of data to inform practice. Each learner is valued, supported, and challenged to achieve their personal best.

As independent learners and members of a connected community, students are motivated to reach their full intellectual, physical, emotional and social potential, and to support others to do the same.
