Ficino School believes in the enormous capacity of every human being. The word Education comes from a Latin root meaning to draw out but also to train. At Ficino, we provide an environment that aims to achieve both.
Using mindfulness techniques, our students develop self-discipline and the ability to attend. A clear set of School values and a structured classroom environment establishes a strong foundation for the years ahead.
At the primary stage of education, it is important to provide a holistic approach to nourish the body, mind and spirit of every child. Balance is important, and our enriched curriculum builds students’ confidence to engage and speak up, which naturally inspires a love of learning.
