Curriculums & Academic stages
We currently offer the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) and we have all academic stages up to junior secondary with roughly 30 students per class.
We also value our students’ academic growth and strive to provide the best learning opportunities. In that light, we have introduced the Cambridge program — giving students more learning options that support their goals, strengths, and overall development while maintaining a strong academic balance.

Kindergarten
Kindergarten gives students a strong foundation by offering age-appropriate lessons and engaging teaching. In Kindergarten, we begin covering the CBC Curriculum and all its subjects. We also focus heavily on basic skills like reading and writing that are essential in higher levels of education.

Our Co-Teaching Model
Every classroom features two master-level teachers working collaboratively to create an exceptional learning environment. This approach allows us to meet each student exactly where they are in their learning journey, providing intentional and purposeful differentiation that ensures every child is appropriately challenged and supported.
