Pre-school: A Foundation of Play-Based Learning
The Pre-school offers full-day care in a secure setting for children aged, 3 years turning 4, as well as 4 years turning 5. Utilizing a play-based learning approach, we ensure that children ‘learn while playing,’ developing crucial social and cognitive skills. This methodology nurtures insightful pupils capable of critical thinking.

Preparatory School: Beyond the Classroom
In our Preparatory School, dedicated teachers understand that education extends beyond the classroom. “We believe in providing a well-rounded, challenging academic programme that prepares our learners for the ever-changing world,” says Ms. Jenny Rees-Gibbs, Principal of the Preparatory School.
