About Elementary School

Our elementary school program offers a wide range of interesting courses that combine to form an enriched curriculum that constantly challenges our students to do their best. Our teachers work closely with our students to ensure that they not only meet their academic potential but excel in every way possible.

We work with each student to develop education plans that suit their needs and interests. We don’t stamp out individuality for the sake of the group; we embrace it. We pride ourselves on developing an academic program that is both challenging and enjoyable, emphasizing to our students that learning is not something you must do, but something you get to do. Through a combination of in-class and extra-curricular activities, we support student development academically, socially and emotionally, while prioritizing empathy, integrity and excellence.

Our Philosophy

We base our curriculum on tried and tested teaching methods that have been proven to increase the capabilities of our students. Our methods include small learning groups, accommodating differentiated learning styles, specific learning-program, and providing students with ample individual attention, as and when it's required. With the well-being of our students at the forefront of what we do, we go the extra mile to accommodate all children.

The elementary years are a critical time for a child’s personal and academic development, as their receptivity and capacity to learn are at their peak. It’s during these years that students acquire coping and socialization skills, so a comprehensive introduction to formalized education is paramount.
