BACKGROUND
Y – education is a newly designed education system that consists of amalgamation of the best school education systems. It is a holistic system, in which we supervise and observe lessons. Y – education is a study that depends on the commitment of the student. At Y – education we use the Structure, Tutoring, Experience, Evolve, Professional (STEEP) process.
By using a new form of education called Y – education we managed to teach the students what their talent is and how to use it within a year; be able to be entrepreneurs for a lifetime, take calculated risks, be able to think differently and critically look at things, work independently and with others, develop their projects, give back to the community, persevere, have integrity and self-respect to have moral courage, to be good to the world around them, to speak, write, read, and count well and how to enjoy their life and work.
“Education is not preparation for life, education is life itself”
