In the Elementary years we follow a non-formal, yet structured approach to
learning. The Class Teacher and Co-class Teacher provide a challenging academic
programme that includes languages, mathematics and project work.
Children are encouraged to explore the environment around them and their place
in it, through projects which integrate art, craft, technology, music and
dance. Activities are designed to develop their fine motor skills and encourage
sensorial development.
In a nurturing environment, they develop an awareness of themselves as
responsible, capable learners. In short, they begin the process of learning by
loving it!
In the Elementary School there are no examinations and teacher evaluations and
assessments are continuous and ongoing.

Elementary years: There are no examinations and teacher evaluations and
assessments are continuous and ongoing. Assessment is ongoing, the objective
being to track a child’s skill development and general progress in terms of
readiness for the next term. There are no tests, marks or grades in the
Elementary School, hence the teacher keeps detailed records of each child in
the form of check lists and narratives.
