Nursery & Primary School

The teaching at the Trustech university is oral, practical, and creative. It challenges children to gradually develop their awakening capacities to think clearly, to feel fully, and to act freely.

Children meet themselves in the realm of imagination through stories, songs, puppetry, and play. They meet the world through tasks like baking, sewing, hammering, sweeping, and gardening. These activities nourish a deep-rooted sense of awe and wonder while offering children a way to rehearse for life as a productive adult.

An abundance of outdoor play (in all types of weather) and practical activity connects children to the rhythms of the year and strengthens their affinity with the natural world. The beautiful language of the puppet plays, songs, and stories told by heart begin the foundation for a love of language that is at the heart of true literacy.

A Developmental Approach

The Lower School curriculum at the Trustech School is perfectly tailored to meet the changing needs of your child at each step of his or her journey through school. Grade by grade, the Lower School curriculum follows the development of the child, considering their physical, emotional, and intellectual growth. Subjects such as geography, history, geometric drawing, perspective drawing, and the sciences are introduced in a way that meets the inner questions a child holds as they grow and change.

Around the age of nine, many children become sensitive to their own separateness from their family and to their individual vulnerability within a larger world. Particularly at this age, children love to figure out how they would build a structure to keep themselves protected from the weather, and the 3rd grade curriculum includes very practical experiences that give a child confidence in farming and house building, on how to survive on their own.
The fiery nature of adolescence is reflected in the chemistry of combustion in grade seven.
Teenagers need for independence and their inclination toward rebellion is mirrored in the study of historic revolutions. These connections make the educational experience relevant, engaging, and satisfying.
