As a new school with no history, Garin set out in 2002 to use the shared wisdom of its teachers, and the best research and thinking on effective teaching and learning, to create a twenty-first century school.
During our foundation years we spent a lot of time articulating our philosophy and how that turned into practice at Garin. As our community has reviewed and developed our programmes we have moved closer to our ideals.
