What we do
A day under the tree
Every school day follows the same rhythm, from the national anthem in the morning to skills in the afternoon.
-
Morning
National anthem and pledge
The day begins together, standing in line for the national anthem and the pledge.
-
Morning
Study
Children learn in small groups at their own level, so no one is left at the back of the class.
-
Midday
Lunch
A hot, hygienic meal from our own kitchen, so no family has to choose between school and food.
-
After lunch
Little ones head home
Children in Pre-Seed and Seed go home after lunch.
-
Afternoon
Skill building
Older students take skill-building classes at our Digital Study Centre.
How children grow here
From seed to shoot
Children learn in groups by what they can do, not by age, and move up when they are ready.
