We complement our play-based programme with high academic standards. Our focus on inquiry and self-guided learning is supported by well-qualified and experienced educators, who partner with parents in the educational development of each child.

Our programme is well placed to help students apply their knowledge, skills and conceptual understanding in real-world situations.
