LEARNING METHODOLOGY
Genesis School applies modern learning methods that focus on experience and creativity, contributing to the formation of students’ integrated and multi-dimensional thinking, problem solving and autonomy in learning:
With this approach, each teacher at Genesis plays the role of inspiring, motivating, and guiding learners. Genesis students have the ability to discover their passions, find learning goals and apply knowledge in life.
With modern facilities and digital platforms, integrated learning helps Genesis students receive continuous support with diverse assignments and learning resources; enhance interaction between students and teachers, and adapt to new teaching methods at higher levels.
Genesis encourages students to be actively involved in the learning process and have more control over their learning with an individualized learning environment. At the same time, Genesis students benefit from receiving individualized learning paths, facilitating participation in competitive exams with the goal of preparing for the future.
