About Bold Park Community School

The philosophy of Bold Park Community School holds at its core the right of the child to participate in a learning environment which promotes mutual respect, shared learning, reflectivity, creativity, imagination and problem solving and participation in the life of the community. The school’s innovative educational philosophy seeks to consider the whole child not in isolation, but in the context of a community of learners. In striving to provide this learning environment for children and families the pedagogical practice is informed by the educational theory of social constructivism and inspired by the educational practice of the educators in Reggio Emilia. The learning theory of social constructivism proposes that knowledge is actively constructed by learners in response to interactions with the environment and that meaning and understanding grow out of social encounters. In addition to this theoretical foundation, the staff at the school seek to remain informed on current and innovative research conducted by contemporary educators who set about to study childhood and how children can best be supported in their growth to be happy, healthy and active contributors to society.
