What makes a school successful?

There are multiple models for educational instruction and with schools adopting diverse teaching strategies and curricula, the question then arises: what attributes are associated with successful schools?

Academic performance has long been used to gauge school success, which is understandable since most curricula are designed to focus primarily on the education of future generations. However, schools are evolving and becoming more holistic, expanding and updating their methodologies and offerings to ensure that students are prepared to thrive in today’s technological and digital age.

In the digital age, the term “successful schools” can refer to institutions that offer enriching learning experiences and activities, ranging from the arts to STEM. Offering a wide range of subjects in addition to a core curriculum is crucial to promoting vital skills necessary for the future, such as problem solving, analytical and critical-thinking skills, encouraging creativity, and sparking our students’ inherent curiosity. . Knowledge in digital technologies subjects will also help prepare them for the ever-changing landscape of future professions and job market demands.

These soft skills maybe the currency of the future, but teachers remain critical in igniting students’ interest in learning. Educators need to be highly-qualified, well-prepared and suited for the teaching profession. They must be dedicated, caring and supportive and should be able to inspire their students’ curiosity, encourage their joy in learning, and tailor their teaching and learning for individualized needs.
