About Us
Our Philosophy
Redwood School Manila pulls from the strong practices of the Vygotskian approach, emphasizing that social interaction, culture, and language are crucial for cognitive development.
We believe that every child is unique, capable, and full of potential when given the right tools and appropriate challenge.
Our Approach
Zone of Proximal Development
Children learn best when tasks are within reach but require gentle guidance.
Scaffolding
Teachers model, guide, support, and gradually reduce assistance as independence grows.
More Knowledgeable Others (MKO)
Learning happens through interaction with teachers, peers, parents, materials, and real-life experiences.
Social Learning
Classrooms are designed for teamwork, communication, exploration, and play.
Meaningful Experiences
Hands-on learning connected to everyday life.
