Welcome to The Pear Tree Centre for Education!
About Us
At The Pear Tree, we work towards aiding our students to grow into:
1. Independent and Life-long Learners
2. Critical and Creative Thinkers.
Thus, we do not spoon-feed and make students rote-learners but rather nurture their innate ability to think through the learning process and internalise what they have learnt. In doing so, the students will, over time, appreciate the importance of rationalising and using information appropriately and creatively.
In a nutshell, we would say that our concept of education relates well to the shape of the pear.
🍐
It starts off in the shape of a funnel at the top before gradually blooming out into a wholesome, rounded shape. It demonstrates well our belief that once sufficient information and strategies are `funnelled into' the students, they will develop into thinking, creative students who will take ownership of their learning.
