The
Greatest
Gift

At Ficino School we believe in the enormous capacity of every human being.

Primary Education

Years 1 – 8 | Girls & Boys

The word ‘education’ comes from a Latin root meaning ‘to draw out’ and also ‘to train’. At Ficino, we provide an environment that aims to achieve both.

Using mindfulness techniques, our students develop self-discipline and the ability to focus. A clear set of school values and a structured classroom environment establishes a strong foundation for the years ahead.

At the primary stage of education, it is important to provide an holistic approach to nourish the body, mind and spirit of every child. Balance is important, and our enriched curriculum builds students’ confidence to engage and speak up, which naturally inspires a love of learning.
