3. Environment and Teacher

In the Reggio Emilia approach, the environment is considered the "third teacher" in children's learning processes. At New School, every space is designed based on this understanding; it is carefully arranged to support children's curiosity, desire to explore, and independent learning skills. Classrooms, workshops, and common areas guide children's learning experiences with natural light, open materials, and organized structures. Every corner allows children to observe, share their thoughts, and express their creativity.

The continuous transition between the school's indoor and outdoor spaces makes nature an integral part of education. Through this interaction with the environment, children not only learn but also strengthen their sense of belonging and freely explore their own learning paths. At New School, the environment, as a silent but powerful teacher, creates space for each child to express themselves, explore, and grow.
