Learning is an adventure at The King’s School. With 169 acres to explore at the Tudor House campus boys and girls from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6 are encouraged and equipped to be leaders.
For nearly two centuries, The King’s School has prepared students with the tools they require to be leaders of service through its unique educational approach that focuses on Academic Excellence with Character Development in a Christian Community.
At Tudor House this philosophy is firmly embedded as primary-aged students are taught through challenge, adventure and autonomy so that they may grow to become servant leaders.
“Regardless of whether students hold official leadership positions, every Tudorian is encouraged to be a leader. Our School’s global approach to education promotes healthy risk-taking, adventure and independence,” says Mr Adam Larby, Head of The King’s School, Tudor House.
The King’s School, Tudor House is the only authorised International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) School in the Southern Highlands. Through delivering inquiry-led learning experiences, students are challenged to think for themselves and take responsibility for their learning.
“The PYP extends our students’ understanding of the world around them, helping them to hone their collective decision-making capabilities, which is at the heart of leadership,” says Larby.
The geographic footprint of Tudor House facilitates a high-trust environment where students have the independence to problem-solve and make positive choices. The School’s renowned outdoor education program, Kahiba, along with the Mount Kosciuszko trek, sports participation, co-curricular activities, outdoor education camps, musical endeavours and more, allow students to repeatedly step outside their comfort zones.
These experiences aid students in developing leadership and decision-making skills grounded in their values, with a school setting providing an ideal environment for them to develop their character and leadership, surrounded by friends and supportive teachers.
“Character development is critical in leaders because only when our boys and girls find their limits through facing challenges in a safe environment, they come to know themselves and their capacity to make decisions in the service of others,” says Larby.
