The Farmer School
We are a research-based institution, dedicated to increasing innovation in the education sector. Our goal is to introduce new and personalized student-focused practices. We believe that the new generations are capable of achieving far more than our society credits them for in the present world. At Farmer School, we believe that recognizing the ownership of skills and knowledge and the relationships around individuals is the key to successful learning.
We credit our experience in the academic industry to our content specialists, advisors, and associate teachers. These respectable professionals on our team guide our students at every stage, leading them gradually to higher levels of independence. The traditional teaching model is no longer proving effective in preparing children. The new generations are capable of contributing more meaningful knowledge and skills to the world. What they need is some meaning, empathy, self-motivation, and creativity, instead of compliance pressure.
