Our aim is to transform education by helping young people become the best holistic learners they can be and through helping schools develop into learning communities.
We create adaptable processes that take communities through the various stages of finding themselves as learning communities of holistic learners.
|
We help communities discover the attributes that they need to develop from the secure base of shared human values and through the strengths of their own cultural perspectives.
Our processes focus on changing approaches to education and therefore they support and enhance any educational system.

Developing Real Learners is a small non-profit organisation set up in 2013 by international educator, Robert Thorn. The goal of the organisation is to change the approach in schools from one of merely training students to pass exams, towards using a learner-development-centred approach that sees young people and educators become reengaged in an education that recognises and supports the development of the attributes of holistic learners – the attributes we all have and that the World so desperately needs us to develop. What about exams? The wonderful thing is, that by being the best holistic learner you can be means also being a great student.
Robert is Founding Director of Developing Real Learners – a non-profit organization intent on helping schools develop learning communities that will, ‘through their own cultural perspectives, foster an approach to education that develops the holistic learner, leading to wise action and all within the current systems young people find themselves in.’
Robert’s message is one of communities transforming themselves and their approach to education through accessible and straightforward processes that rely on our common humanity and their own cultural perspectives.
He is an international educator of some twenty-nine years and has worked in many cultures and educational systems. He currently lives and works in Slovakia where he is Academy Principal at the English International School of Bratislava
