Vanessa believes equipping students with relevant 21st century competencies and skills such as fostering critical thinking skills is at the heart of what we do in education. She also  strongly believes that every child wants to learn and is capable of learning, but need not be at the same pace. Each student is unique and our role as educators is to explore possible ways to facilitate the joy of learning.
