"School Ready"... or Engaged Lifelong Learners?

In international schools, children arrive with vastly different educational backgrounds and cultural expectations of learning. While we want the best for every child, focusing solely on academic skills can overlook the fundamental work of childhood that prepares them for success. This course explores what being "school ready" actually means in diverse international contexts and how to support children from different cultural backgrounds to become confident, engaged lifelong learners rather than just academically prepared students.
