Spiritus is Where Holistic Education Nurtures the Whole Child

Balancing Right-Brain Creativity and Left-Brain Logic for Unique Learners

Many young people struggle in mainstream education, where large classes, standardised approaches, and rigid structures can leave them feeling lost or overwhelmed. When students don’t connect with traditional teaching methods or need more individual support, they often disengage from learning entirely.

At Spiritus, we provide a different path. Our nurturing environment offers personalised attention, flexible learning approaches, and a supportive community where unique learners can rebuild their confidence and rediscover their love of learning through a balanced blend of analytical and creative experiences.

A Holistic Learning Hub for Home-Schooled and Flexi-Schooled 11-16 Year Olds

Our expanded programme now offers a comprehensive curriculum that honours both hemispheres of the brain:

Left-Brain Focus: Develop logical thinking, analytical skills, and academic foundations through our Math Mastery, Financial Literacy, and Memory Enhancement workshops.

Right-Brain Focus: Nurture creativity, emotional intelligence, and self-expression through our Drama & English, Cultural Exploration, and Identity & Personhood sessions.

We track and measure learning outcomes while nurturing intellectual, creative, and personal growth through our balanced educational approach that respects each child’s unique learning style.

How Spiritus Transformed Our Boys

“Spiritus was exactly what we needed when we needed it. My boys were becoming more and more homebound and less and less eager to try new things. Convincing them to try a learning activity environment was not an easy task but, after much negotiation, we agreed that they would just try it for a week. Fast forward to almost 6 weeks later and they actually miss the days they have off. Thank you as my boys are growing in confidence and independence. They are learning, making new friends, keeping active, and just happier overall. A huge win all around.” – Ardin (Adam & Oliver)

More About Spiritus

The Spiritus we are Moving Towards

As we move forward through 2025, Spiritus will embrace a new educational ethos that blends timeless wisdom with natural learning. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci and modern educational research, we will focus on seven key principles:

1- Wonder – Nurturing natural curiosity and exploration

2- Experience – Learning through direct engagement and hands-on discovery

3- Senses – Embracing multisensory learning through nature, art, and movement

4- Growth – Celebrating uncertainty as a path to development

5- Integration – Combining arts and sciences for innovative thinking

6- Movement – Recognising the vital connection between physical activity and learning

7- Connection – Understanding how all knowledge and ideas interconnect

Our approach will create an environment where children can discover their natural genius while developing deep understanding through meaningful experiences. Once everything is in place, we will start to make changes. In the meantime, we continue to offer our core programme of STEM subjects and creative sessions for your young people to enjoy.
