Creativity is not limited to the arts—it’s the ability to think differently, solve problems in innovative ways, and imagine possibilities beyond the ordinary. At Verbum Dei Academy and Verbum Dei International College, teachers play a central role in nurturing creativity across all subjects.
1. Creating an Open Learning Environment
Teachers encourage students to share ideas freely without fear of judgment. This safe space allows students to express themselves, explore their thoughts, and take intellectual risks.
2. Encouraging Curiosity and Questions
Instead of giving all the answers, teachers at Verbum Dei prompt students to ask “why,” “how,” and “what if.” This inquiry-based approach fuels creativity by making learning more exploratory.
3. Using Project-Based Learning
Creative thinking is embedded in real-world projects, where students design solutions, conduct experiments, or create presentations. These hands-on tasks promote teamwork and problem-solving while tapping into imagination.
4. Integrating Arts Across the Curriculum
From creative writing in English to visual models in Science, teachers blend art with academics. This cross-disciplinary approach helps students see connections and think outside the box.
5. Celebrating Unique Perspectives
At Verbum Dei, teachers value originality. Whether it’s an unconventional answer to a math problem or a fresh take on a literature essay, creative thinking is rewarded and respected.
6. Providing Time for Reflection and Innovation
Teachers give students the time and space to brainstorm, revise, and refine their ideas. By avoiding a rush-through approach, creativity has room to flourish.
7. Role Modeling Creative Thinking
Teachers themselves showcase creativity—through innovative teaching strategies, new classroom activities, or fresh ways of presenting lessons. Students learn that creativity is not fixed but cultivated daily.
The Verbum Dei Approach
By inspiring creativity, Verbum Dei teachers prepare students to become not only excellent learners but also innovators and leaders who will shape the future.
