Learn from schools around the world with this absorbing and thoughtful account of distinctive schools and the lessons we can draw from their current, everyday practices.

Gain fascinating insights into schools with distinctive philosophies from around the world and reflect on the lessons we can learn for our own schools and classrooms. Hear how leaders teach creativity at The Royal Ballet School, how faith schools foster curiosity and critical thinking, and how schools in Silicon Valley take lessons from the world of tech.

With exclusive interviews from 30 unique schools worldwide, Schools of Thought will prompt you to ask penetrating questions of your own practice and challenge you to think more broadly and more deeply about the principles and practices behind education in a changing world.

A must-read for the thoughtful educator who wants to expand their horizons and learn from a diverse range of schools in developing their vision, values and ethos and prepare their pupils for the modern world.
