Our Multiple Intelligences Approach
We use this groundbreaking approach which recognises that intelligence isn't limited to a single dimension, which helps us come up with a programme that is richer and beneficial for young children.
About Multiple Intelligences
Multiple Intelligences (MI) is a theory proposed by psychologist Howard Gardner in 1983, challenging the traditional view of intelligence as a single, unitary construct measured by standardized tests like IQ. Gardner's theory suggests that intelligence is multifaceted and encompasses a diverse range of abilities and talents.
According to Gardner, individuals possess not one, but multiple intelligences, each representing a different way of processing information and solving problems. Each intelligence represents a distinct cognitive capability.
Linguistic intelligence involves sensitivity to language and the ability to effectively use words, while logical-mathematical intelligence entails logical reasoning and mathematical problem-solving skills.
Spatial intelligence involves the capacity to perceive and manipulate visual and spatial information, while bodily-kinesthetic intelligence relates to physical coordination and skill in using one's body.
Musical intelligence encompasses sensitivity to rhythm, melody, and pitch, while interpersonal intelligence involves understanding and interacting effectively with others. Intrapersonal intelligence refers to self-awareness and the ability to understand one's own emotions, motivations, and goals.
Naturalistic intelligence involves the ability to recognize and categorise patterns in nature.

“An intelligence is the ability to solve problems, or to create products, that are valued within one or more cultural settings.”
