I CAN APPROACH: Empowering Children with the I CAN Mindset.

What is the I CAN Approach?

At the heart of the I CAN Approach is a simple yet powerful philosophy: putting the child at the center of the education system and nurturing their innate ability to say “I CAN”.

How It Works

This approach empowers learners of all ages to embrace a “both-and” mindset—balancing content and character, passion and compassion, and doing good while doing well. By instilling the belief “I CAN,” every child gains the agency to drive positive change and prepares to become a responsible, HumanE citizen of the world.

THE I CAN APPROACH TO EDUCATION

Our Values

Educators are guided by five key values—Empathy, Ethics, Excellence, Elevation and Evolution—to intentionally design curricula, timetables, and practices that ensure every child, while human by chance, is HumanE by design.

BUILDING THE I CAN MINDSET. BY DESIGN

THE HUMANEFRAMEWORK

Over the past 24 years, Riverside School has developed and perfected a set of processes and practices to foster a HumanE culture, preparing students to graduate with the transformative I CAN Mindset. These proven processes are organized into six foundational pillars that form the backbone of every successful school ecosystem.

Through this structured framework, the I CAN Programmes enable schools to implement the “Both-And” model—balancing content, character, and culture—and transform into fully realized I CAN Schools. This integration ensures a holistic transformation, nurturing confident, compassionate, and capable changemakers who are ready to lead the future.

LEARNING PROGRAM

At the heart of the I CAN Program is the child. This philosophy puts the child at the center of the education system, harnessing and nurturing their inherent "I CAN" superpower through intentional design thinking.

The program is a set of beliefs, skills and attitudes that are fostered and nurtured intentionally over time to shape young global citizen leaders who are:

  • AWARE of the world around them

  • ENABLED with skills to make change and

  • EMPOWERED to design a more desired, sustainable future for the greater good

Our mission is to empower students with the ‘I CAN Mindset’, enabling them to become confident, compassionate, and capable changemakers. Through innovative, student-centered approaches, RLC equips learners with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
