Academics
Nursery to Basic 9, taught with close attention to every child and a strong foundation in reading and speaking.
Attention on every child
Every child learns differently. Our teachers get to know each pupil’s way of learning and teach to it.
When a pupil starts to fall behind, teachers find the difficulty early and plan for it: extra resources, one-to-one help and small group sessions that go back over the key ideas. We celebrate each child’s progress, not only the top of the class.
