Primary: Above all else, find joy in learning.

Core Values for grades 1-7

  • Student-directed Learning

    Not all students learn at the same pace or in the same way. By having two co-teachers per classroom, we are able to focus on differentiated instruction, small group work, independent learning, and a high teacher to student ratio.

  • Teach outside the box.

    While many educators in Zambia grew up under a very didactic, chalk-board centered teaching style, our teachers spend five mornings a week learning about cutting edge strategies, evidence based methods and styles of student engagement that are meant to meet the needs of todays student population.

  • Brain-Wise education.

    FCS teachers teach with the brain in mind which means being cognizant of what children require for their brains to store long-term memory, access creativity and feel safe to communicate needs without worry. Through positive classroom management, trauma informed teaching and healthy teacher-student attachment, we are educating the whole child - mind, body and pirit.
