Primary School
Grade 1 to 4
The Primary section aims at the holistic development of students through joyful learning methods that extend beyond the classroom, offering opportunities like the Junior Duke Award to build resilience, independence, and confidence. Students are guided and trained to acquire 21st Century Learning Skills through challenging and differentiated experiences that nurture critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. Alongside academics, a wide range of extra-curricular activities (ECAs), wellness programs, and musical events ensure that students develop socially, emotionally, and creatively, enhancing their overall well-being and personal growth. We embrace the students' inquisitive nature by encouraging them to question, explore, and apply what they learn while fostering respect and social etiquette, all within an enthusiastic, happy learning environment.
