Provide them with the best possible memories and educational experience at UMCA.

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.
