EduExcellence Lynnwood Campus

Our amazing students will be spreading joy and handing out treats to local community members as a heartfelt thank you for your incredible support.

Your encouragement and involvement mean the world to us, and we’re grateful for your continued support. Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected community.

Here’s to many more moments of giving back and celebrating our community spirit!

Our extended external eco-system includes everything from social influences and environmental pollutants to nutrition and sensory input. It’s all the outside factors that impact an individual. Meanwhile, the extended internal eco-system covers the internal anatomical, chemical, and physiological elements that shape our biological and emotional behaviors, as well as how these systems interact.

Our Green Approach embraces a natural, holistic path to support our children's growth and development. Think of it like a tree, where we nurture both the internal and external factors—like health, nutrition, and our physical environment. By addressing these elements, we create a thriving space for kids to flourish.

Get ready for an exciting day as our Grade 7 - 11 learners showcase their amazing entrepreneurial skills for their EMS and Business Studies classes!

Bring your pocket money to support our budding entrepreneurs and grab some fantastic deals!

And don’t miss out on the First Day of Spring celebrations!

We’ve got a slip and slide for all kids to splash into the new season with some fun and excitement!

EduExcellence has a long-term view on children.

We are not just a school, we look to the future at what our children will become.

EduExcellence and the TheraEd Approach prescribes to a different timeline. We know and understand that we are preparing children for life. Our view is not to only assist them for the next 60 minutes or the next 60 days (a term) - we realise that what we do today will prepare them for the next 60 years.

We love: Nurturing hearts
Equipping hands
Growing brains & expanding minds

We are very deliberate in our statements.

Our environment follows a HEART | HAND | HEAD approach.

We value the needs of the heart first. We know and understand that our best educational approach is an affectional approach. We first cultivate the love for learning, reading and computing before we introduce the learning, reading and mathematical material.

We are fortunate in the fact that we have the opportunity to create an extra-ordinary environment specifically suited for our children.

The EduExcellence Experience allows us to prioritise the child first and the academic tasks second.

It’s MindSprouts Day!

Please contact your class teacher for more information.

We love providing: Small, individualised classrooms in a structured environment where children can feel spiritually, emotionally, physically, socially and cognitively safe.

Our classes have a maximum of 12 children in our EduExcellence Schools and 8 children in our EduSkills Centres.

By having a limited number of children in our classes, we have the unique opportunity to see each and every child.

As a heart-centred organization we value individuality, individual feelings and individual thoughts. By using a child- centred approach, we create a safe environment for children to grow and thrive. Our children should feel spiritually, emotionally, physically, socially and cognitively safe at all times.

Good Luck, Grade 12s!

As you dive into your preliminary exams, remember that all your hard work, dedication, and perseverance has led you to this moment. This is your time to shine and show just how far you’ve come!

Believe in yourselves, stay focused, and take each exam one step at a time. You’ve prepared, you’re ready, and you’ve got this!

Don’t forget to take breaks, breathe deeply, and keep a positive mindset. Every challenge you face is an opportunity to grow and succeed. Keep pushing forward and know that we’re all cheering for you!

Here’s to conquering your exams and reaching new heights. Good luck!

As part of our Neighbor KIND Campaign, we’re spreading some joy and positivity right to the community’s doorsteps! This week, keep an eye out for motivational notes and delightful treats popping up in your post boxes. It’s our little way of saying “thank you” and brightening your day.

Let’s keep the kindness flowing and make our community a little bit warmer, one sweet surprise at a time.

We love being: Child-centred

Where we value each child’s gifts, strengths and talents.

This section of our motto forms the foundational cornerstones of who we are and how we conduct ourselves.

We place our children central to our decision making. A school is there firstly to serve its children. We value them as gifts with unique abilities, strengths and talents. Our approach is a soft but firm approach within a structured environment. When faced with difficult situations, we ask ourselves “what is in the best interest of this child?”

We strive to see the whole child.

Today, on August 9th, we honor the incredible women who have shaped our nation's history and continue to inspire us every day. From leaders and activists to mothers and innovators, their strength and resilience empower us all. Let's celebrate their achievements, amplify their voices, and strive for a future where every woman can thrive. Happy Women's Day!

What is a Child-Centred Approach?

“The term student-centered learning [child-centered] refers to a wide variety of educational programs, learning experiences, instructional approaches, and academic-support strategies that are intended to address the distinct learning needs, interests, aspirations, or cultural backgrounds of individual students and groups of students. To accomplish this goal, schools, teachers, guidance counselors, and other educational specialists may employ a wide variety of educational methods, from modifying assignments and instructional strategies in the classroom to entirely redesigning the ways in which students are grouped and taught in a school.”

At EduExcellence, we believe in putting children first in everything we do.

Our commitment to a child-centered approach means we prioritize their unique needs, interests, and developmental stages. From education to playtime, every interaction is crafted to nurture their curiosity and growth.

EduExcellence is well known for our Personal Educational Approach.

As a full spectrum school environment (EduExcellence Schools and EduSkills) we have created two distinct streams to accommodate the personal needs of our children. The fact that we use TheraEd (which is in itself a multi-modal approach), attests to the fact that we will incorporate what we need in order to provide a child-centred approach.

Today, we celebrate the magic of reading and the endless adventures within those bound covers. Whether you're diving into a classic, discovering a new favorite, or simply daydreaming about your next literary journey, let's raise our bookmarks and toast to the stories that shape our world.

Let's champion the pillars that nurture our children's well-being:

😴Restorative Sleep: Quality sleep is crucial for mental health! Create a calming bedtime routine to help you unwind and recharge for the day ahead.

💪Physical Activity: Exercise isn't just for the body, but for the mind too! Whether it's a walk in the park or a dance session in your living room, get moving to boost those feel-good endorphins!

🍎Healthy Eating: When you nourish your body, you nurture your mind! Fuel up with nutritious meals packed with fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Your brain will thank you for the extra dose of vitamins and minerals!

🤝Social Connection: Human connection is like soul food! Reach out to friends and loved ones, even if it's just a quick text or video call. Sharing laughter and support can lighten the load on your mind.

🤍Helping Out: Giving back feels good for the heart and soul! Whether it's volunteering in your community or lending an ear to a friend in need, small acts of kindness can make a big impact on your mental health.

These ingredients form the foundation of resilient minds and joyful hearts. Let's cultivate environments where kids thrive, where self-care isn't a luxury but a necessity, and where every child feels supported, nourished, and loved.

“Children learn as they play; most importantly, in play, children learn how to learn.”- Fred Donaldson
