At Verbum Dei Academy and Verbum Dei International College, education is more than an individual journey. It is about learning how to work with others, share ideas, and contribute to a common goal. That’s why teamwork and cooperation are deeply woven into the school culture—because success in life often depends on one’s ability to collaborate effectively.
Why Teamwork Matters in Education
Children and teenagers today live in a world that requires collaboration. Whether in classrooms, workplaces, or communities, the ability to work well with others is a key life skill. At Verbum Dei, teamwork is emphasized because it:
- Encourages Peer Learning – Students often learn best from one another through shared problem-solving.
- Builds Confidence – Pupils develop the courage to share ideas and listen to others.
- Teaches Conflict Resolution – Working with peers requires patience, empathy, and negotiation.
- Prepares for Real Life – Few achievements in adulthood are done alone—cooperation is essential for success.
How Verbum Dei Promotes Teamwork
Teamwork is not taught only in theory; it is practiced in many aspects of school life:
- Group Projects and Assignments – Students collaborate to research, present, and solve academic challenges.
- Sports and Extracurricular Activities – From football to debates, pupils learn discipline, strategy, and shared responsibility.
- Classroom Discussions – Teachers encourage respectful listening and collective participation.
- Community Service – School-wide projects teach students how to combine their strengths for the greater good.
Cooperation Across Different Ages
At Verbum Dei Academy (nursery and primary), cooperation begins with simple acts: sharing toys, taking turns, and helping classmates. These little lessons build the foundation for empathy and teamwork.
