Teach with heart. Inspire for life.
Explore resources that transform Pestalozzi’s values into everyday learning experiences.
Theory to Practice
The revolutionary ideas of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746–1827) continue to inspire education worldwide. His emphasis on child-centred, heart-led, holistic education and on developing altruism, Pestalozzi's ideas are now more relevant and more needed than ever.
At the heart of our work is Pestalozzi’s Educational Approach and Fundamental Beliefs. Our aim is to apply his values to today’s challenges in education and society, and to shape a more just, inclusive, and empathetic future.
