Background on Doulos Discovery School

Doulos is a private K-12 school that was started only 5 years ago. The school consists of local and international teachers with roughly 160 students. The school was started with a vision of building bridges for rich and poor, Catholic and Protestant students and community members. The teaching is based on experiential and explorative learning. US national standards are used as a guideline for content and to prepare students for educational opportunities past high school. The main goal of the school is to equip future leaders to be socially responsible and active with Christ as the guide. I have already been impressed with the school’s dedication to experiential learning and community service. For example, the ninth grade physics class last year built a mini hydroelectric plant on a local coffee farm as part of their learning process. The students actually studied and learned about the plant themselves and involved community members. This is exactly the kind of teaching that I have always wanted to do!
