My two sons are currently in Igenius. There are a few age groups in the school. The elder one is in the 4-6 age group. There are a lot of exercises for him and he really benefit from it. The younger one is in the 2-3 age group. Basically, I think that it’s a waste of time as they are doing the same things for one year already.

Hi mommy2bnd,

My son is also attending Igenius, 4 - 6 age group. I agree with you. He benefits from the activities. The 2 - 3 one is really a waste of time.

[mommy2bnd]

That why i rather forego the 2-3 mega and let him attend the 4-6 fundamental instead. Which session is your son attending?

Mummies...OK, let's me give you an introduction of Brain Hemisphere Research, the rethinking school that's most happening and gain lots popularity currently.. :love: :roll:

BHR offer Brain Neuro-Development enrichment programmes (English and Chinese) for children from 3 to 6 years old and primary one to six school level.

Their children programmes pioneering work of
Professor Kurt W. Fischer, PhD, Mind, Brain & Education Programme, and Professor Howard Gardner, PhD, Project Zero, Harvard Graduate School of Education serve as the framework for the children curriculum. The philosophy of Multiple Intelligences asserts that every student's blend of competencies produces a unique cognitive profile for that child. Supplementing with Singapore Ministry of Education standards, their students are taught fundamental academic skills and content which they then apply to multifaceted topics that integrate Language Arts, Math, and Social Sciences. They place an emphasis on student performances and leadership skills that build and demonstrate deep understanding of subjects, in contrast to rote learning.

At BHR, children are introduced to innovative
Children Genius and Leading Minds programmes.
Fundamental to all their programmes is the belief in and promotion of creative problem solving and lateral thinking techniques.

They posted lots of live videos on the web that
you can see kids learning in the class LIVE!

Hello KQE


Both my sons are at 10.30am, sunday classes. I only have time during the weekend to bring them there. 11 more lessons to go. Still thinking of whether to continue with the 7-9 classes or not.

Hi


There are many programmes focusing on right brain training. I suppose the kids are utilising their whole brain to process information.

Can anyone share more about their experience with BHR and Shichida?

Of course, you should also plot the usefulness of the course versus the age of the person - the older the person, the less useful it is since the ability to apply it becomes much smaller since we have already hardened our \"bad\" habits.
