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.

Every day at Sevenoaks, students practise creative thinking, critical thinking, complex problem solving, negotiation, team working and
service provision – essential skills our alumni will use to excel at jobs which have yet to be invented and to reshape their universe.
