Abstract

In this chapter, the key elements to facilitate success of an educational shift to learning within the middle schooling paradigm have been discussed. The aim of middle schooling at Kings Christian College is to provide a balanced and holistic education that meets the spiritual needs of all students as they grow to take their place in society. Effective middle schools provide a safe, supportive learning community and pastoral care is the umbrella under which all of the positive outcomes of middle schooling are achieved. This nurturing of young people according to an asset promotion paradigm, helps them to develop self-confidence, self-esteem and the capacity to contribute to the community.
