General Curriculum and Approach

  • We use an inquiry-based curriculum designed to foster critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving from Kindergarten to Grade 10. It is accredited by the Department of Education and aligns with national educational standards. This ensures that your child's education is formally recognized and transferable to traditional schools or institutions, both locally and internationally.

  • Absolutely. Our program is highly flexible and designed to meet each child’s individual needs. We work with families to customize learning plans based on the child’s learning style, pace, and specific requirements.

    We are after the best interest of our students, and so with children with special needs, we would like to closely partner with the student’s family, developmental pediatrician, teachers and or therapists to be informed of the recommendations on how best to help the child. We want to align with the specialist or teachers who have previously worked with the child to ensure that the child would benefit from our program, and better evaluate if our program would be the best fit for the child's needs.

  • We incorporate a range of digital tools to enhance the learning experience, including interactive platforms, online resources, and virtual activities. These tools are age-appropriate and easy to use, ensuring a seamless learning journey.

  • Our curriculum is secular, but it can be adapted to align with your family's values or incorporate supplementary materials to meet specific preferences. We uphold universal values of integrity, kindness, and excellence.
