Children from age 6+ are inducted into our Elementary school starting from Grade one. They are seamlessly taken through sound learning experiences for the next 5 years.
Throughout this period, the aim is to achieve effectiveness in the core skills of Numeracy, Literacy, Sciences, Civics, Technology, and Proficiency in at least a local language from Year one. This is in line with both International and National Curricula. French is introduced from Year 3. Essentially, all these subjects are of paramount importance as they form the basis for the THEME subjects to be learned in post primary school.
More so, through our hands-on entrepreneurial skills acquisition and project-based learning, the pupils are introduced to the real world around them and are exposed to real life problem-solving skills.
What’s more? The use of international and best globally acceptable practices in methodologies and strategies make our classes completely and uniquely interesting. Ranging from modern classroom management, unfettered access to sundry resources from our e-library, e-learning platforms, to the use of modern technologies in lesson delivery, the collaboration between pupils and teachers, between teachers and parents, amongst learners themselves, to mention but few, schooling has become more interesting than ever, thus making our children’s learning experiences memorably unique and enjoyable.
