ABOUT US

Shiminly specializes in holistic cross-disciplinary programs for K-12 schools and private students. We emphasize the whole person in the context of their learning, bridging self-knowledge with education to empower our students for success. Our dynamic courses nurture young people and inspire them to rise to the challenges of the future.

In this age of readily available information, the static lecture-style classroom is a relic. Today’s learners must be challenged to self-motivate and operate independently, while still receiving the support and guidance they need to thoroughly explore a discipline. Shiminly is the solution.

Our program centres on the belief that learning about oneself is as important as learning about the world. A Shiminly education not only gives students world-class academic skills, but also the self-knowledge and confidence to thrive in any setting, from international education to their professional careers.

MISSION

Shiminly is driven to bridge the gap between traditional academics and 21st-century learners. We integrate much needed Life-Skills into academic content. Shiminly teaches by live interactive lessons where students learn how to actively find answers for themselves and gain worldly experience.  Learners will seamlessly blend their social and emotional learning journey with their academic path. Graduates from our program will start their careers with an advantage that will benefit them for their whole lives.
