Our Education Approach

 
 

Play-based learning is an effective learning approach in our curriculum, especially for our young learners in Nursery classes, given their innate curiosity and ability to learn effectively through exploration, self-discovery, experimentation and imagination. We engage our children in both indoor and outdoor play for effective and fun hands-on learning through concrete experiences, play and field trips. Interactive thematic learning corners are designed to facilitate active learning through play.

At the Kindergartener levels, our active learners participate in inquiry-based learning and guided project work integrated across multiple learning domains. They will answer open-ended and thought-provoking questions and participate in the process of inquiry, where they investigate, explore and formulate creative solutions to build their foundation for higher-order thinking skills. They will present their works to their peers and teachers to develop their confidence and communication skills.

Our guiding principle is always to make children’s learning effective and enjoyable so that they learn joyfully and confidently, gaining a head start in school readiness and lifelong learning. We are passionate in enabling every child to reach his/ her potential and to be future-ready, with the mindsets of an Explorer, an Innovator and an Entrepreneur.
