a balanced approach to learning
In developing this framework, we considered many well established and innovative approaches and have created an amalgamation ideally suited to our context and values. Our model of the child, the teacher and the environment - create the corner store of our pedagogical approach.
our school's pillars
Our preschool's educational framework is rooted in the pillars of balanced learning, which define the 'what' and 'why'—the core values that ensure meaningful, supportive, and well-rounded development.
1. Academic Foundation
Fostering a deep-seated curiosity and love for learning.
4. Connectedness
Fostering a sense of community, teamwork, and belonging.
2. Independence
Encouraging autonomy and self-reliance in thoughts and actions.
3. Well-Being
Holistically addressing both physical and emotional needs of the child.
5. Artistic & Cultural Appreciation
Experiencing and learning through art and cultures
learning pathways
The pillars are complemented by our pathways of learning, inspired by renowned methods from Montessori, IB, Waldorf, and Reggio, and enhanced by our leadership team from Stanford and Harvard.
These pathways, the 'how' of our teaching, actively engage children every day, encouraging them to explore, interact, and creatively express themselves.
Explore
Children explore interests through play, sparking curiosity with diverse materials.
Engage
Guided questioning and research encourage a culture of inquiry and critical thinking.
Enquire
Kids engage in hands-on activities that enhance problem-solving and teamwork.
Express
Children express themselves in art, music, dance, and stories, highlighting creativity.
This balanced approach fosters curiosity and supports lifelong learning.
