“Design is all about learning from doing, that’s how we evolve to the best solution.”
Our Approach
As we approach the 4th industrial revolution, The Common Bench encourages our youth to create more, and consume less. We apply the Growth Mindset through kinaesthetic learning - tinkering, making and discovering from mistakes. These practices will build students' curiosity, courage and confidence to enable them to think creatively and problem-solve, while equipping them to become future-leaders and innovators in this VUCA world.
