Level of class

We provide instruction specifically geared to the student’s age and level of proficiency.
The following developmental goals are based on students who attend our school full-time, 5 days/week.
Please keep in mind that these goals depend on each student’s individual development.

Age 3-4 years class
(LKG/MKG)
Students enjoy conversing with friends and teachers in English. Group play will begin, and students will be able to use English in complex play and while working together with friends. Students gradually will be able to speak full English sentences.

Students will be able to participate in Circle Time and English classes. They also will start simple math classes and further improve their English skills.
 
Students will start to learn how to perform daily tasks independently, while continuing to gain independence at lunchtime and working on toilet training.
Age 5-6 years class
(UKG/Grade 1)
Students will be able to have more complex conversations in English, such as discussing and debating their opinions with classmates and then explaining their discussion to the teacher in English. Students also will be able to conduct standard conversations in English with greater fluency.

In Circle Time, students serve as role models and mentors. In class, students focus on mathematics and other subjects that interest them, while improving their English skills.

As the oldest students in the program, they develop greater independence, serve as an example for younger students, and take more initiative.
