Educating both mind and heart: Why ethics matters

It has often been said that “educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” Yet, the question of how to develop a strong moral compass is often brushed aside as schools focus on test scores and academic results. At Collège Champittet, we consider ethics to be inseparable from a well-rounded education.

At Collège Champittet, our Forest School programme brings outdoor adventure into everyday learning. The UK’s Institute for Outdoor Learning has reported that regular outdoor learning enhances academic performance, social skills, behaviour and learning engagement. From identifying plants and bugs to playing games outside, our preschoolers and primary students love learning and exploring in the fresh air!
