    Essential educational principles

    We are guided by the goal of nurturing a well-rounded individual. Our aim is to integrate knowledge, values, and skills necessary for a rapidly changing world.

    We organize education by actively engaging students in the learning process, fostering their independence and ability to argue effectively in discussions.

     

    We believe that a student’s motivation is driven by their engagement, the development of personal viewpoints, and the ability to share these with others while working in a team.

     

    Active learning is based on team projects and game-based methods, promoting collaboration, creativity, and intellectual curiosity.

    Project-based learning is a research-based method focused on student independence and responsibility in solving relevant real-world problems. It encourages deep learning, critical thinking, and active participation in education.

     

    Project-based learning creates opportunities to integrate various subjects, eliminates artificial separations between disciplines, fosters a holistic understanding of the world, and teaches how to solve unique, complex, and multifaceted tasks.

     

    This method fosters collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity, reflecting the modern world where the careers of most future professionals will involve implementing interconnected projects rather than performing routine tasks.

    “Learning without thought is meaningless. Thought without learning is harmful.” – Confucius

     

    We place special emphasis on developing thinking skills, demonstrating that merely knowing facts is meaningless — meaning is created through the application of knowledge and creativity.

     

    We involve the entire lyceum community in learning effective, critical, and creative thinking. These skills and techniques are applied collaboratively to develop an effective curriculum and meaningful activities.

     

    Developing thinking skills is a fundamental requirement for people to compete in an artificial intelligence world; therefore, we nurture creators who think outside the box.

    Entrepreneurship education involves developing students’ abilities to analyze opportunities, generate ideas, create projects to implement those ideas, and work effectively in teams by distributing tasks and achieving a shared outcome.

     

    Everything learned in the classroom has real-life counterparts. Students analyze the financial and social activities of actual companies and organizations. By analyzing these companies, students identify problems and discover solutions, transforming them into value-creating opportunities.

     

    We shape experiential education based on the 7 skills identified by Dr. Tony Wagner, a professor at Harvard University. Properly developed entrepreneurial skills enable better knowledge acquisition, understanding of their meaning and application possibilities, integration of different knowledge, and creation of new ideas through collaboration and joint action.

    A Day at Erudito Lyceum

    The Lyceum really helped me to develop as a person, find new friends, gain self-confidence and start thinking outside the box. I believe that the knowledge I gained here will help me when studying across the Atlantic. The values I acquired at the Erudito Lyceum, which are instilled daily, will help me adapt more easily to the new environment, culture and lifestyle in the United States.

    We were looking for a school for our children that offers an open and modern approach to education—one that balances academic achievement with a strong focus on nurturing their developing personalities, general skills, and inner qualities. We really appreciated the founders’ approach to building the teaching team, aiming to bring together truly passionate professionals with prior experience. The teaching staff is truly wonderful! It was also very important for us that Erudito Lyceum is located in the city center, which solved many of our family’s logistical challenges and saved a significant amount of daily time—time we can now spend on other favorite activities, longer dinners, and quality family moments together.

    The international summer camp of “Erudito” Lyceum in the USA was an extraordinary experience that inspired me. It was fun to meet new friends and build strong bonds of community. By participating in various activities and challenges, I not only gained new skills but also learned to trust myself more. The camp accelerated my personal growth, allowing me to discover my strengths and creativity!
