Pestalozzi's Institute

Pestalozzi's Institute was founded by educator Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi in the late 18th and early 19th centuries to promote a holistic approach to teaching. It emphasized hands-on learning, emotional development, and understanding students' individual needs. The institute aimed to train teachers to foster critical thinking, moral growth, and practical skills, moving beyond rote memorization. Pestalozzi believed education should nurture the whole person—mind, heart, and character—creating a more effective and humane schooling system. This approach laid foundational ideas for modern education and teacher training.
