Welcome to Lower Primary!
Hands-on Learning Environment
At every stage we provide engaging experiences within a stimulating environment that taps into the natural curiosity that exists in young inquisitive minds. Children learn best in a ‘hands-on’ environment, where they are actively involved in exploring, experimenting and talking as they work and play at a variety of activities.
Emphasis is on literacy and math, and children learn about Christianity through Bible stories, chapels, songs and prayers. They also learn about other world religions by sharing holiday celebrations, visiting temples, shrines and mosques, hearing various guest speakers, studying religious and cultural books, as well as traditional artifacts.
Learning is a Journey, Not a Race
We fully understand that different children have different learning styles, and develop at varying rates. Our program design ensures that each child develops concepts, skills, learning strategies and positive attitudes in intellectual, social, physical, and spiritual areas at their own pace as they progress through the grades.
To complement learning at this early stage of development, our program also allows time for using the playground and gym, as well as the comprehensive resources in our library.
Our Lower Primary School is home to children in Reception 1 (pre-kindergarten) through Grade 2 (4 - 7 years old).
“The number one thing you want to provide for any child is a level of learning that can be achieved by creating a fun and engaging environment... The more opportunities you give kids to play, the more they learn."
