Prince George is set to learn some new life skill as he returns to Thomas's Battersea in London. The eldest Cambridge child will be in Year 3 when school starts on Sept. 7.
According to Daily Express, Prince George's Year 3 lessons will include self-analysis. Kids his age will apparently be learning from their mistakes to develop their confidence and independence.
This school year will be a major shift for the third in line to the British throne as Year 3 to Year 6, or school kids in the ages of seven to 11, are considered the prep years at his school. This means that the royal and his classmates will also acquire knowledge that will solidify their foundation for the future via the school's Enquiry Mindset program.
The school follows four sections of learning under the Enquiry Mindset -- 4D, digital, academic curriculum and the outdoors. The 4D method entails skills, meta-learning, character and knowledge, which is where Prince George will be taught self-analysis.
This principle also involves teaching children how to be positive members of society, or to be givers with strong morals. It will uphold the school's motto of kindness, while honing the children's leadership qualities.
Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte will also return to school on the same day as her brother to start Year 1. The Cambridge family's second child was supposed to be back at Thomas's Battersea for in person classes last May but Prince William and Kate Middleton decided to continue homeschooling their children at Anmer Hall.
But before going back to school, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge brought their kids to Balmoral, Scotland, to visit Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. The family has not seen their grandparents in person since the middle of March due to the coronavirus isolation.
Prince William, Kate and Prince George also joined some members of the royal family for grouse shooting in Balmoral. The young prince is apparently slowly learning this traditional hunting sport that the royals have enjoyed for centuries.
However, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge received criticisms for bringing their son to what PETA considers as a violent shooting party. The animal rights group said that Prince George should be taught compassion for animals to become an effective leader when he grows up. Instead, the group said that the shooting party might affect his psyche. Kensington Palace has no comment on the criticisms from PETA.
