Our Academic Approach

Every learner is known, taught and monitored.

We believe in success through small classes. With a maximum of 25 students in a class, teachers can provide individual attention, teach effectively and monitor progress closely.

Well-planned timetables, continuous assessment and homework ensure that students become familiar with every aspect of the syllabus. Students are tested monthly and examined at the end of each term.

Parents and guardians receive reports on the academic progress and welfare of their children twice each term.
