EtonHouse launches The Eton Academy
Enrichment and tuition for pre-school and primary students
The Eton Academy (TEA), part of the EtonHouse International Education Group, has opened its firstcentre in Canberra Plaza.
Backed by the internationally and locally recognised programmes in both pre-school, primary, andsecondary offered in the EtonHouse and E-Bridge schools and pre-schools, TEA will be an independent
arm focussing on enrichment and tuition for students from age four and above. At the time of launch,
TEA will also be offering bursaries for one academic year to 25 students from disadvantaged
backgrounds in the Sembawang GRC.
‘Setting curiosity in motion’ is how the TEA has created and developed its subject-specific curriculumand enrichment programmes. Children from 4 years and above can enrol for English, Maths and Science
programmes that have been specifically curated to enable learners to acquire academic content while
also nurturing confidence, competence, and a lifelong love for learning.
Teachers provoke curiosity in learners through a variety of teaching methods. In a kindergarten
Mathematics class, children will be invited to learn about Usain Bolt and his record-breaking feats.
Children will explore the mathematical concept of measurement by finding out how fast he ran, hisheight, and his strides' length. They can further explore the concept of time by looking into his training
schedule and understanding the difference between a.m. and p.m.
In a typical English lesson, carefully curated children’s books will be used as a form of provocation,
inviting children to enjoy the story as it unfolds and pay attention to the craft of writing and the use ofvocabulary. Children are then encouraged to emulate these best writing practices in their own ways.
Even as children remain in Singapore and in their classrooms, with the help of immersive 3D technology,The Eton Academy brings the world straight to their students through a customised, immersive, andinteractive learning space. The interactive modules serve as a form of provocation, with the teacher
facilitating the students' inquiry into each theme. Students take the helm when exploring 3D
environments, uncovering facts, and discovering tasks on their own!
Class sizes will be between 8-12 students, and fees will be between $280-300 for four lessons. TEA will
be offering trial lessons in addition to registration fee waivers and discounts off term fees as aninaugural offer for families. The TEA team has many years of experience in the enrichment and tuitionspace and come equipped with the unique EtonHouse pedagogy of inculcating life long learners throughexploration and inquiry. This disposition will lay the foundation for success in the present and the future.
Mr. Ng Yi Xian, Executive Director of EtonHouse, said, “We are humbled by the success of our students
in our schools across EtonHouse and E-Bridge and felt the need to reach out to more families both inpre-school and primary to offer enrichment and tuition programmes that are based on our uniquepedagogy. We have been offering enrichment programmes in our schools that have been popular andhave shown great results in student performance. We are therefore excited to launch TEA that will reachout to Singapore families beyond our schools and equip them with academic success and life skills forthe future”.
