The first classrooms.
Three things the school says about its youngest classes, in the order a parent meets them: the first two years, the KG years, and the shape of the day.
- Playgroup and Nursery
- The focus is on communication and social skills, early thinking and logic, and fine motor skills built through structured activity. The school says children build the self-esteem and the habits that shape how they take to study later.
- KG I and KG II
- Activity-based learning with trained teachers. The school says safety and confidence come first, alongside emotional, physical and mental growth. The first written tests are sat from KG I.
- Through the day
- Teachers stay with the children through the day, so social skills grow alongside academic ones.
