How we teach Pre-Primary

We focus on integrated learning. This means a mix of live classroom lessons and some offline activities that we ask parents to facilitate. Live lessons are recorded and can be played again if the child needs it. This approach is important for Pre-Primary students, who are still learning the foundational skills they need to progress through formal schooling. Your support makes all the difference.

Classes are 30 minutes in length, with a 30-minute break built into the school day to ensure little minds don’t get too tired.

Pre-Primary lesson format
