This first step from home to school is taken with security and sensitivity. Daily experiences are offered with blocks, toys, painting, music, dramatic play and movement. Reading readiness and math concepts are sequentially introduced through concrete experiences and manipulative materials. Students acquiring English as a Second Language are guided through the experience by multilingual special staff. Communication in English and cooperation in work and play are emphasised in the Nursery Class.
Kindergarten continues to enrich each child's love of learning.
The child's first experiences in reading and writing are focal points at the Preparatory level. The Grade One programme contains the growth stages in math, reading and writing based on each child's individual needs. Appreciation of literature, integrated science and social studies, and a rich and varied arts programme complement academic work.
