Course Outline 

An Enquiry-based Approach 

We encourage our students to research, investigate and problem solve within topics, as well as developing critical thinking skills and producing real world tasks.

Growth mindset

We believe that a child’s mindset is not fixed, but that children can develop their talents through hard work, determination and good strategies for learning when supported by input from others and collaborating with others in a safe and secure environment. 

Parent's benefit from:

  • knowing your child is being taught in a safe environment by expert teachers
  • seeing your child develop in person during our open classes
  • attending parent's workshops to get updates on your child's progress
  • learning useful ideas for supporting your child at home
