The school you wish you had
There are no classrooms, exams, or grades
How do we track kids’ “progress” at school then? It starts with an expansive definition of progress, of growth. A definition that isn’t just about academic milestones, but about social and emotional wellbeing too.
Where a new learningadventurebegins each day
Learning is a journey through wonderful worlds. Remember the thrill of finally balancing yourself on a cycle? Or the pride of mastering a music instrument or a board game? At Comini, every day is filled with these magic moments.
Where every I can’t turns into I did
Learning is fundamentally about attitude. We believe kids already possess the tools they need. Our role is to gently guide them. To expand their sense of self, to take on challenges, and to truly embody a growth mindset.
Learning is when the mind, body, and heart are all at play
Unlike the rigid and outdated educational methods of conventional schools, at Comini, we believe in an approach to learning that happens beyond the confines of a classroom and is meaningfully connected to the real world.
Where why? is always welcome
We decided it was time to rethink education when our daughter was pretending to be a teacher and shouting at her imaginary kids saying "Just get it into your heads because this will be on a test”.
This is what one of our parents told us. Growth isn’t just about grades. Progress is a story not a standardized test.
How are we different from other schools?
Personalized, experiential, meaningful Picture a world where your child sets the pace and learns at their own speed, and is free to pursue their own interests. Learning is not the remembering of knowledge. It is exploring the world and ourselves. It is nurturing the cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual. It is about playing the whole game. The world our children will inherit will be very different from what it is now. We don't know what careers will exist. We must help children learn to learn, through their lives.
Guides, not teachers Our educators don’t lecture - they facilitate, they inspire. They’re dream-enablers, cheerleaders, and co-learners who are discovering the world together.
Comini is Community Learning is not just cognitive or emotional, it is deeply social. We learn from each other. In togetherness we find ourselves and what makes us unique. We believe our world has enough for us all, and we are here to find our place, and help each other.
We guide, not teach The metaphor that guides all we do is one of exploration. Where we are there to explore together, offer a helping hand, but otherwise step back and let them blossom into independent voyagers.

1
Rigid curriculum Traditional schools often use dated curriculum and old ways of teaching that may not be interesting, scientific or helpful for all students.
2
Teaching to test An emphasis on standardized curriculum on testing almost always turns into an emphasis on shallow surface skills and teaching to test.
3
No personal attention Traditional schools have far too many students in one class. Teachers simply do not have enough time to help students with their unique needs.
4
Stigmatizing mistakes They create the wrong illusion that there is just one right method. The world is complex, interconnected, and changing. What was right once can quickly become wrong.
5
Set patterns and spoon-feeding Life does not come with textbooks, teachers, and tests. We have to figure it out. On our own and with the help of our tribe.
6
Hides the real Our superpower is taking in ambiguity and ignorance and transforming it into meaningful patterns. Traditional schooling cocoons children in the abstract and arbitrary.
