DEVELOPMEN­T PROGRAMME

Our technique is to play while you learn, and so, our classes are structured to allow students to develop their social, emotional, cognitive, language, and fine and gross motor skills. We opted to use the A Beka Curriculum, which is an American Bible-based curriculum that places emphasis on phonics. It is found to be very effective as it enables children to learn to read at the early age of four. For the students in grades one and higher, we have integrated the local curriculum designed by the Ministry of Education with the A Beka curriculum.

Extracurri­cular activities include Taekwondo, gymnastics, miming, quiz club, spelling bee, sports, and performing arts.
