A Padeia school is a type of educational institution that emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. The name Padeia comes from the Greek word for “education” or “formation.”

Padeia schools typically follow a three-column approach to instruction:

  • the first column focuses on factual knowledge
  • the second column on conceptual understanding, and
  • the third column on application and problem-solving.

This approach is sometimes referred to as the “knowledge, understanding, and wisdom” model of education.

Padeia schools place a strong emphasis on the Socratic method of teaching. In a Socratic seminar, students ask questions and discuss ideas with each other in order to deepen their understanding of the subject matter. This type of collaborative learning has been shown to promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Padeia schools are often seen as an alternative to traditional education models. However, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to education, and each school must tailor its approach to meet the needs of its students.
