Each distinct course we offer is tailor-made to suit a particular age group. As children in different age groups have particular needs, we apply different styles of teaching in each case.
During this Lower Primary course, the students are physically active and we continue a strong focus on listening and also focus more on speaking. At around the age of 7, we finally introduce children to literacy (the English alphabet, reading and writing).
The course runs between September and April. There are two levels and reading and writing only feature significantly in the second level.
