Coming from an Asian background where rigid plans and specific requirements were the norm, I was surprised by the level of trust SCIS places in its teachers. The ability to truly teach based on children's interests was a refreshing change. The culture at SCIS fosters trust not only among educators but also with supportive parents who encourage our classroom initiatives. This environment creates the freedom to explore various teaching directions, ultimately enriching the learning experience for both me and my students.
