CURRICULUM


The Dhun School learning format integrates a selection of proven educational methods, including the Cambridge International Curriculum, into one cohesive, holistic learning experience.

Learners are grouped by competency, not age, allowing them to progress at their own pace. Interdisciplinary learning enables them to move fluidly across subjects, deepening their unique interests. Lessons are rooted in real-world issues, keeping students engaged with both local and global contexts. Experiential learning transforms the natural world and the community into an extension of the classroom through hands-on projects.

Our approach is anchored in three interconnected pillars — Self, Community, and Planet — through which we cultivate the values and outcomes of being democratic, empathetic, and stewardly. These guiding principles shape not only how we learn but also who we become.

Above all, Dhun School fosters an inclusive, equitable learning community that welcomes students from all backgrounds.
