Where are the skills our children will need to discover new planets ?

Well , creative thinking skills are embedded in the curriculum at Sevenoaks School , so in theory we need look no further .
Our alumni certainly go on to achieve extraordinary things ; equipped as they are with the skills they need to change the waiting world .
Lars Blackmore for example , mastered creative thinking at Sevenoaks . He left in 1998 , studied robotics at MIT , earned a PhD and went to work for NASA . Primary objective : how best to land a craft on Mars .
It ’ s worth considering then , that many of the skills your child may need to make a significant impact , can be acquired here at Sevenoaks .
