Primary School
Grade 1 to 4
The Primary section aims at the holistic development of students through joyful learning methods that extend learning beyond the classroom.
Students are guided and trained to acquire 21st Century Learning Skills. They are exposed to challenging and differentiated learning experiences which nurture critical thinking and problem-solving skills. During Primary School, we embrace the students’ innate inquisitive nature in order to develop their basic skills through first-hand experiences. Students are encouraged to question, explore, apply, and test what they know, whilst treating each other with respect and developing the beginnings of social etiquette.
The wide range of extra-curricular activities and wellness programmes create an enthusiastic and happy learning environment in the primary classrooms.
