Best To Prepare Your Education Early
Young children have an insatiable curiosity and an almost limitless capacity to learn. They are natural inquirers, critical thinkers, competent, creative and full of potential. As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, our philosophy of teaching and learning is developed within the framework of the Primary Years Programme (PYP), which is a child centered approach.
IB PYP in the Early Years
Experiences during the early years lay the foundation for all future learning. In these early years, the development of the physical, emotional, social and cognitive domains are happening so rapidly.
It is important to support these developments by providing play-based learning experiences in adaptable and appropriate physical and social environments that allow them to inquire to make sense of the world, and to strengthen their sense of agency.
Montessori
The Montessori method of education focuses on the development of the whole child with the emphasis on:
- independence and life-skills readiness
- self-directed and hands-on activities
- freedom within limits
respect for a child’s natural psychological development
Together with IB PYP curriculum, we embed Montessori’s’ Exercise of Practical Life to support the children with basic exercises that provide the opportunity for purposeful work and these exercises assist children in their development; physically, cognitively, socially and emotionally.
Exercise of Practical Life are designed to teach children life skills. They help the small children develop intelligent and responsible contact with his surroundings. They enhance the children’s control over their movements, exercising the muscles of the whole body with understanding and willed purposes.

- Care of self
- Care of the environments
