How We Teach Matters as Much as What We Teach

At AWS, our teaching methodologies are grounded in research and designed for impact. We blend proven pedagogical approaches with innovative practices to create engaging, meaningful learning experiences that develop deep understanding and transferable skills.

Our teachers are trained in multiple instructional approaches and select the most effective methods for each learning objective, ensuring students develop as critical thinkers, collaborators, and lifelong learners.

Our Approaches

Evidence-based methodologies that drive student success

Project-Based Learning

Students tackle real-world challenges through extended, interdisciplinary projects that develop research, collaboration, and presentation skills.

Design Thinking

A human-centred problem-solving framework that teaches students to empathise, define, ideate, prototype, and test solutions.

Mastery Learning

Students progress when they demonstrate understanding, not just when the calendar changes, ensuring deep and lasting comprehension.

Socratic Method

Guided questioning and dialogue that develops analytical thinking, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to construct and defend arguments.

Experiential Learning

Hands-on activities, field experiences, and simulations that connect classroom concepts to real-world applications.

Blended Learning

Strategic integration of technology with face-to-face instruction, giving students flexibility and access to diverse resources.

Methodology FAQs

Teachers select methods based on learning objectives, student needs, and subject matter. Most lessons blend multiple approaches for maximum engagement and understanding.

Technology is a tool, not a replacement for teaching. We use digital resources to enhance learning, enable collaboration, and provide personalised practice, while maintaining a balance with hands-on and interpersonal activities.
