Key to Personal Growth:

At our School, we believe that the key to self-development and personal growth includes:

  • being creative and using one’s imagination,
  • exploring and discovering,
  • problem-solving, taking decisions and making choices,
  • experiencing situations that have meaning,
  • working together in a team environment (with learners and teachers),
  • developing fine and gross motor skills,
  • learning self-care skills and,
  • achieving independence.

Parental Involvement Highly Valued

We regard our parents as the most important key role-player and stakeholder in our school’s educational program. Parents are always encouraged to be involved in their child’s early development stages.

Learning from a school going age involves a partnership between both staff and parents. A parents’ consistent involvement and showing keen interest in their child’s school and homework increases confidence and desire by learners for all activities at school.
