Program Highlights |
|
¤ýOur Program is mainly inspired
and influenced by Project Approach and Reggio Emilia. |
The children investigate worthwhile projects based on the school curriculum of each grade or their emergent curiosities and interests. |
|
|
¤ýOur programs are designed to extend the school learning experience. |
We have been developing small group and individualized tutoring programs which are available in all subjects. |
|
|
¤ýFree time with rest, gym time and playground activities are another aspect of our program. |
We consider children’s daily physical & emotional needs and allow flexibility in the routine to meet the needs of individual children as they are apt to be tired after a full day at school. |
|
|
¤ýWe regularly update and develop our programs to meet the needs of children and their families. |
