  Students develop the essential skills of writing, reading comprehension, vocabulary acquisition as well as proficiency in grammar rules as covered in the MOE Primary 1 syllabus.
  Your child will be equipped with an arsenal of writing techniques to draw from when writing compositions and other text types.
  We get your child interested in writing by inquiring into children’s books, learning best writing and characterisation techniques and how to emulate them.

  We incorporate passages taken from literary works and non-fiction into our curriculum, exposing your child to different text types while honing his or her reading comprehension skills.

• GETTING GRAMMAR RIGHT

  We help your child build a strong language foundation through a variety of language exercises that help to reinforce grammar rules.

• BE HEARD

  Our lessons encourage your child to be an active listener and an articulate speaker, developing his or her own voice and perspective.
  Presentations and mini projects are integrated into our lessons to hone your child’s critical thinking and public speaking skills.

• BE CURIOUS

  A broad range of inquiry themes (e.g., sustainability, automation and engineering) are introduced over the school year to broaden your child’s knowledge about different issues around the world, encouraging him or her to think beyond the classroom academia.
