A DAY AT
MADRASA DUNYA
"A Flexible Daily Rhythm: Tailored Learning Designed for Every Child"
At Madrasa Dunya we use our own holistic educational approach by drawing together progressive and alternative learning approaches and embracing the talents, passions and local knowledge of our experienced team.
We focus on awakening a child's own passions and motivation through inspiration and engagement of all children.
We do this through our daily rhythm, which considers our brain map, the human body clock and daily needs as well as connection through friendships and community events.
By creating a flexible rhythm, rather than a schedule, children are free to explore their own passions, create play and connect through shared ideas, whilst guided and supported by our team.
At Madrasa Dunya, we are aware children have different needs. Our rhythm therefore offers all different kinds of activities for the kids to choose from or join in with during the day.
In this way everyone can be included,
from those that need more structure and rhythm
to those that need more freedom and time.
