Curricula
The Liberal School has developed the world's first 'Curricula for educating gifted children.' It is a grade-free and age-free educational resource that is categorised into 4 stages –
- Pre-primary (Two Kindergarten years)
- Primary (but split into two' soft compartments' – I–II and III–V)
- Middle and Secondary (Grades VI–X)
- Higher Secondary (Grades XI-XII)
Assessment
Assessment will completely move away from content/knowledge to a broader set of 21st century skills. For instance, critical thinking will be assessed through the closest linkage of the assessment content, instruments, and evaluation criteria to the widest variety of real-world living and professional situations.
Progress Evaluation
It is a 'multi-grade' assessment and reporting. Grades are used only as a proxy for maturity and easy understanding (we are all used to the grade structure).
