The shape of a school day
A day at SOLA.
Our days are designed around how gifted and 2e children actually learn — with time for depth, movement, and real conversation.
We shape the rhythm of the SOLA school day together with our teaching team. These are the principles that guide it.
- 01 Long, focused blocks for deep work, rather than fragmented periods
- 02 Time outside every day, in any weather
- 03 Project work that runs across days and weeks, not single lessons
- 04 Shared meals as part of the learning community
- 05 Daily reflection — what was learned, what comes next
A sample day
This is an example. Times can vary by class and day of the week.
- 09:00 Arrival and morning circle: we greet each other and plan the day
- 09:30 Focused learning, such as mathematics
- 10:15 Cutting fruit and vegetables together, in mixed-age groups
- 10:45 Focused learning, such as German
- 12:15 Shared lunch
- 13:15 Design, art or languages
- 14:45 Break with fruit and vegetables
- 15:15 Project time: each child chooses MOVE, THINK or CREATE
- 15:45 Tidying up together
- 16:00 End of the school day
