Course Outline
An Enquiry-based Approach
We encourage our students to research, investigate and problem solve within topics, as well as developing critical thinking skills and producing real world tasks.
Growth mindset
We believe that a child’s mindset is not fixed, but that children can develop their talents through hard work, determination and good strategies for learning when supported by input from others and collaborating with others in a safe and secure environment.
Parents benefit from:
- knowing your child is being taught in a safe environment by expert teachers in a global organisation that is trusted all over the world
- professionally designed, bespoke class materials
- seeing your child develop in person during our class visits
