Discover
Semi-Formal Curriculum

The Discover Pathway supports learners who benefit from a semi-formal approach, combining structured teaching with hands-on, exploratory learning. This flexible model promotes progress, independence, and the development of key life skills. Through a mix of tutor and specialist-led sessions, learners access a broad curriculum that includes practical activities, communication, social interaction, and purposeful learning through play. A strong emphasis on immersive, multi-sensory experiences helps learners rehearse, consolidate, and apply their learning in meaningful ways.
