For the globalization of Noonnoppi Education, the most authoritative brand that contains its singular know-how accumulated for the past 30 years, the company is expanding the business into the world by establishing local subsidiaries, franchises and joint ventures.
Philosophy
Eye Level's teaching philosophy started with understanding children’s point of view, as what they call children’s “eye level education” to let them learn at their own learning pace.
Traditional academics assume that all classroom teaching is based on mass education, using the same teaching materials for the same courses of studies. In these environments, it’s hard for children to be motivated once they fall behind or if they have different learning habits. At Eye Level, they help children achieve a level of mastery to move on to the next stage of learning and let them learn at their own pace.
And that is what Eye Level stands for.
Meaning of Eye Level Symbol, Keyhole
The most important definition of the keyhole is education from a child's perspective. It is a window which students and instructors look through, imagine, and dream together. As the keyhole is located at the child's eye level, the symbol also represents the story of a teacher who knelt down to see and understand children's perspectives and attitudes. Eye Level's keyhole also triggers children's curiosity, leading them to imagine and create their own world and pursue their dreams for the future.
The keyhole stands for step-by-step study approach to learning, a process of learning basic skills and laying the foundation for infinite growth to the future. This is one of Eye Level's educational principles. The line with four colors, Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green, represents Eye Level's educational process, consisting of diagnostic/level testing, self-directed study, assessment, and feedback. The connection between the four colors illustrate not only the ongoing learning process but also the children'ts limitless growth and development through Eye Level's structured education.
Eye Level Math Program
Eye Level Math is designed to help students improve their mathematical thinking and problem solving skills by enabling them to master concepts each step of the way as they progress through the curriculum.
The Eye Level Math program is well aligned with NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) content and process standards, and links to the NCTM standards are highlighted throughout the Eye Level Math program.
NCTM standards reflect the collective view of mathematics teachers and should be carefully considered when designing mathematics curricula and instruction. Adhering to these standards will ensure that students master fundamental concepts in all areas of mathematics at performance levels that are developmentally appropriate.
Eye Level English Program
The goal of Eye Level English is to guide students to master English language skills while enhancing the four fundamental skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Various themes and diverse strategies will motivate students, nurture study habits, and develop language capabilities, which are sure to be the basis of lifetime learning.
