A school that knows every child
In every classroom there are children who are stretching ahead, children who are finding it hard, and children in the middle who are easy to miss. GFH Alia National School plans for all of them. Teachers know each student by name, teach them at the level they are actually working at, and notice the quiet child who has not put her hand up all week.
This is how the school teaches every child, not only those who need extra help. It is a teaching practice, and it is twenty years in the making.
