LANGUAGE

The three main languages (English, Bahasa Malaysia & Chinese) are being taught. For the 3 & 4 age groups, the emphasis is on English Language ; the bridging programmes will be introduced when children are 5 & 6 years old through BM & Chinese lessons.

MATHEMATICS

Mathematical concepts are easily found in children's daily routines and activities and they play a major role in children's development. these concepts are much more abstract than learning and memorising words and symbols. We have a variety of teaching aids to help children understand key concepts of Mathematics such as classification, numbers, quantity, operation, measurement, geometry & problem-solving.

XARIS SCIENCE

Xaris Science was initially a programme franchised from Canada. Its unique contents with activities encourage creative learning. This Science programme was later further developed by Xaris to aim at developing children's curiosity and potential in Science by providing them with entertaining and educational activities that instil a clear understanding of what Science is really about and how it affects the world. Children learn to observe, record, summarise and draw conclusions.

XARIS GYM

Xaris Gym is a programme specially designed and developed by an experienced, international coach from China. This programme is aimed at developing a good sense of balance, strength, flexibility, agility, endurance and control among young children. The movements involved in gymnastics contribute to the development of gross motor skills, alertness, precision, boldness, self-confidence and self-discipline are among mental traits that can also be developed through gymnastics.

EXERCISES OF PRACTICAL LIFE

The purpose of the Practical Life curriculum in Montessori is to improve concentration, coordination, control, independence and order which lay the foundation for leanring.

As every parent knows young children want to be with adults and to take part in the daily activities of an adult. The Montessori Practical Life materials allow them to do just that and they provide real life experiences for children

SENSORIAL

The sensorial materials facilitate the understanding of abstract ideas. Working with them, the child begins to understand concepts, judgements and develop observation skills. The materials are graded to suit the developmental level of each child and have self-correcting elements which encourage auto-education, which means that the child can correct himself and experience success.

It is a time for children to break through the walls of reality, pretending to be someone or something different from themselves and dramatise situations & actions to go along with their chosen role. The theme for dramatic play is selected based on the children's community and the materials are usually made by our team of teachers.
