Marcelli School of Antipolo, being a pioneering progressive school in Antipolo City, adopts an integrated approach to learning that recognizes Multiple Intelligences.
According to Howard Gardner, human beings have nine different kinds of intelligence that reflect different ways of interacting with the world. Each individual has a unique combination of the intelligences. Although we each have all nine intelligences, no two individuals have them in the same exact manner.
Academic disciplines through progressive education introduce concepts and processes within meaningful contexts to enable the child to realize connections between ideas. Class projects and performances are designed to draw on multiple intelligences while encouraging both self-reliance and collaboration.
