ABOUT
ABOUT THE SCHOOL
School of Duda is an online language school for curious people with a thirst for knowledge. If you love learning languages, discovering and sharing ideas, then become a part of our community of students from around the world.
ABOUT THE PHILOSOPHY
“We cannot teach people anything. We can only encourage them to discover the world; both outside and within.” Galileo Galilei
Languages cannot be taught, they can only be learnt. Languages are not objects to be studied, they are living things, alive! They must be experienced and acquired. They must be lived. Learning languages should always be a pleasure! We show our students the way to do this.
ABOUT THE MISSION
The mission is not only to help students learn languages, but also to enable them to develop, educate and grow themselves as individuals. As we believe that a person who is informed and multilingual is more tolerant, more flexible and more curious. It is neither cliche nor redundant to say that the education of each and everyone of us, as well as society in general, can change the world and create a more positive future for humanity.
