Our Approach to Thinking at St Peter's Prep Schools
Research has shown, time and again, that businesses and organisations encouraging the most effective thinking techniques are generally more successful than their competitors.
St Peter’s:
- has been teaching thinking techniques for over 20 years (since 1995)
- intentionally teaching techniques to improve decision-making, curbing the effect of the emotion, improving problem-solving and creativity
- uses a combination of techniques including de Bono CoRT skills and Thinking Maps (Charles Adams)
- was one of only two schools visited by Dr de Bono on his two visits to South Africa
- was recognised as the first Thinking School in Africa and possibly the southern hemisphere by the University of Exeter in 2014
- produced the first trainers in thinking skills, accredited by Thinking Schools South Africa (TSSA)
- has integrated thinking techniques across this curriculum and in management
