Dunedin School

The Dunedin School was an influential educational movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, originating in Dunedin, New Zealand. It focused on progressive, student-centered learning, emphasizing creativity, critical thinking, and emotional development over rote memorization. Teachers acted as facilitators, encouraging exploration and inquiry. The approach aimed to nurture well-rounded individuals prepared for active participation in society. Although not as widely known today, the Dunedin School contributed to evolving educational ideas by promoting a more holistic, flexible, and humane model of teaching.
