Kotwal’s School administrators and faculty are committed to the fullest possible development of each child on many different planes including intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and cultural.

Children learn by active involvement in diverse media and by direct personal experiences. The school provides experiences which accommodate a variety of individual learning styles. As new concepts or skills are introduced, it is believed that tasks should be presented on a continuum moving from concrete example to abstract understanding; from carefully considered action to automatic integration of codes of behavior. We believe that motivation for learning comes from within the child and is stimulated and cultivated by teacher and parent reinforcement, guidance, and example.

At Kotwal’s School we strive to prepare children so that they will be able to manage their lives satisfactorily in this complex world. While offering them the security of the familiar educational community, the school regularly leads the children to test their skills, concepts and beliefs in larger settings. From these experiences they come to value and learn from the widest variety of life styles and beliefs and attain the proficiency and confidence to act effectively as responsible citizens in our world community. We embrace the multicultural approach to learning.

Children are whole beings, and it is known that learning tasks and experiences, by their nature, often fragment that whole being. Therefore it is our belief that each task must lead back to the whole and that the child should always be aware of the relationship between part and whole. Kotwal’s School strives for the development of the whole person.
