Our approach to learning in the outdoors is rooted firmly in the key progressive education theorists of the past one hundred and fifty years – from Froebel to Steiner, Vygotsky to Montessori, Dewey to Gardner – all of them put the child at the centre of their own learning. They all valued the importance of children being allowed to explore the world independently, with appropriate support.

Through our emphasis on outdoor learning, Kingscourt School provides a nurturing environment where children develop essential life skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and resilience. By immersing themselves in nature, they learn to adapt, overcome challenges, and appreciate the beauty of the natural world.

At Kingscourt School, we believe that by empowering children to explore the world independently, we enable them to become confident, self-directed learners who are equipped to navigate an ever-changing global landscape. Our outdoor adventures instill a lifelong love for learning, paving the way for their future success and fulfillment.
