Daisy Primary School was founded to bring the Finnish educational approach to life, nurturing empathy, individuality, and curiosity in children.
We offer a European-style education with a strong focus on English language learning.
WHO ARE WE?
Daisy builds on the rich experience of International Middle School Holden and Pascal High Schools, in addition to a long-standing partnership with an English school in Nanjing (China).
Our approach is based on extensive research into international education methods. We have partnerships with renowned institutions such as the Italian Cultural Institute in Helsinki, Pirtin Koulu Primary School in Kuopio (Finland) and Highton Primary School in Victoria (Australia).

OUR TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
We follow Finnish education principles, focusing on fostering learning through freedom rather than obedience. We emphasize responsibility and mutual respect.
Our education system aims to develop children holistically, from social to emotional skills, encouraging collaboration and mutual support. Our goal is to teach students to work together as a team, prioritizing the 'We' over 'I'.
THE FINNISH METHOD
Inclusivity
Our teaching is designed to be accessible to all students, accommodating individual differences.
Autonomy
We encourage independent thinking and self-assessment.
Learning Environment
We consider the learning environment in a broad sense, including physical, temporal, relational, and cultural spaces. Everything around us interacts continuously with the school community, thus creating an enriching experience.
Care
We emphasize the relationship between care, education, and teaching, aiming to promote growth through collaboration between children and teachers. We focus on cooperative learning of both social as well as practical skills.
Learning by Doing
Practical experience is the starting point for all our educational processes.
Outdoor Learning
We incorporate educational trips into our curriculum to enhance learning.
AN INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
Through interdisciplinary projects in art, music, and botany, we've developed a method for teaching foreign languages focused on practical vocabulary and language skills acquisition.
At Daisy Primary School, students learn English from native speakers, Spanish from native speakers, and Chinese from a bilingual teacher.
