Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi
Two hundred years ahead of his time.
Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi was a Swiss humanitarian who devoted his life to the education of children. He believed that the best service man can render to man is to teach a person to help him or herself. His educational philosophy included the development of practical skills and social awareness in addition to academic achievements, summarised as Head, Heart and Hands. His principles guide and inspire all Pestalozzi entities today.
“You plant a tiny seed in the ground; in that seed lies the whole nature
of the tree” Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746-1827)
