Philosophy Seven Oaks was co-‐founded by Janet Nicol and Bruce McIntyre, in in 2009. They believe that every child is born brilliant, but all too often, is dimmed down by an out-‐dated education system that develops only a small part of the brain. Seven Oaks believes that the purpose of education should be to support the holistic growth – heart, mind and body -‐ of every child, to ignite and engage all of their natural born brilliance. We believe that true learning happens via experience rather than memorisation of facts. In a happy, safe, relaxed environment, children are able to open and learn more.
