During my time at Oxford, I learned the importance of interdisciplinary study and intellectual curiosity. My tutors encouraged me to expand my interests beyond the limits of the curriculum, developing a passion for learning and an engagement with the subject that stretched me to my full potential.
Similarly, Seven Springs Education tutors introduce students to texts that are not part of their school courses. This is especially important because research suggests that reading for pleasure as a teenager is a key indicator of future success. Moreover, in literacy and English classes, students look at texts which are commonly studied in schools, and analyse them on a deeper level, creating critical thinkers who can respond to texts independently.
Online classes at Seven Springs Education are also highly interdisciplinary. The school system demands a clear division of subjects, but it’s important to encourage students to see beyond those boundaries. Even the most reluctant of students will be passionate about something; by exposing them to a wide range of subjects, online classes allow them to discover what that might be.
Education is not just about cramming for exams – it’s about becoming a well-rounded individual with a wide range of interests. In tutorial classes, students are given crucial space to grow into true global citizens through courses which are designed to support school curricula, and also to go beyond them.
