Teaching & Learning
It is the quality of teaching that makes the difference to a child’s educational outcomes. The Christ Church Pedagogy (the art and science of teaching) is a product of extensive research, gained from classrooms across the globe, into what motivates boys and how boys learn best. It is at the forefront of all that we do, as we motivate every boy to achieve individual and collective excellence.
The following factors form the pillars of Christ Church Grammar School’s pedagogical framework:
- Catering for individual differences
- Providing structure and feedback
- Enhancing personal bests
