The Fusion of Excellence and Wellbeing
At the very heart of the King’s College educational philosophy is the seamless fusion of the highest academic standards with an unwavering commitment to outstanding student wellbeing.
This mission is powerfully encapsulated in our unique teaching and learning model, known as The King’s College Tapestry. This framework is the foundation of our lesson planning, the driver for the professional development of our teachers across the school, and is deeply informed by the latest educational research and best practices.
Understanding The King’s College Tapestry
The Tapestry is a layered, comprehensive model that structures our approach to education, ensuring every element works in harmony to benefit the student:
The Golden Thread: The King’s Identity
The core of the model is represented by the five essential student habits that constitute The King’s Identity. This forms the 'golden thread' that binds together every student who walks through our gates, defining their character and approach to learning.
Types of Learning
The Tapestry explicitly outlines the different types of learning that must be employed to support the development of each habit within The King’s Identity. This serves as a vital aide-mémoire for our teachers, guiding them as they implement strategies designed to make The King's Identity tangible in the classroom.
Teaching Strategies
The next key segments of The King’s College Tapestry relate specifically to the diverse and effective teaching strategies that our faculty employs in the classroom. These strategies are carefully chosen to enable our students to actively embody each of the habits that form The King’s Identity.
The Final Layer
The outermost segment focuses on the desired outcomes: Academic Achievement and Wellbeing. These results demonstrate the profound impact of applying The King’s College Tapestry consistently in every lesson and throughout school life at King’s College Doha.
