Read on to know how extracurricular activities like music, art, sports, and storytelling enhance creativity, confidence, and communication skills.

How are the teachers supporting primary kids?

Teachers are patient, approachable, and highly encouraging, providing a supportive environment for primary children. They offer individual attention, carefully explaining concepts to ensure every child understands. Their dedication and guidance help build confidence, foster learning, and create a positive foundation for the child’s overall academic and personal growth.

Which best practices do they use?

Teachers employ best practices such as activity-based learning, interactive sessions, and regular assessments to make education engaging and effective. These methods encourage participation, reinforce understanding, and help track progress, ensuring that students grasp concepts thoroughly while developing critical thinking, creativity, and a love for learning from an early age.

Which extracurricular activities boost your child’s personality?

⁠Extracurricular activities like dance, music, sports, storytelling, and art help develop my child’s confidence, creativity, and communication skills. Nyra enjoys music, practising daily, which not only nurtures her talent but also instils discipline, focus, and a sense of accomplishment, enhancing her overall personality.

How is the pedagogy structured?

⁠The pedagogy is child-centric, blending conceptual learning with hands-on activities to make education engaging and practical. It emphasises not only academic understanding but also the development of life skills, creativity, and critical thinking, ensuring a holistic approach that nurtures the overall growth and potential of every child.

How do you handle her studies at home?

⁠At home, I follow a simple routine, revising lessons playfully and engagingly. I encourage my child to explore self-learning while maintaining regular communication with teachers to track progress. This balanced approach helps reinforce concepts, build confidence, and make learning enjoyable and effective.
