Hello all.... I'm really dying to know what is the positive in Soka. I've been looking for my son's K1 next 2013. He is currently in a montessori based kinder. I've visited Soka and really like the spacious and clean environment. The only thing that is nagging me to enroll in Soka is that they're not focus on academics. I'm new to Singapore's curriculum. Scared that my son will not be ready for P1 if he join Soka. Can any of you Soka parents enlighten me??? TIA..



:thankyou:

Hi Mummies,
For those who decided to enrol their kids to Soka, pls share what good abt this sch?
Cos I cun decide whether to enrol my girl for K1 next year. Heard their teaching methods are project based different from other sch (eg St Hilda's Kindergarten) and no spelling at all . Thus don know the kids are well prepared to primary 1?
Pls advise me to make decision.
Thks.

Hi

Have PM you

Orientation for nursey classes only? Or even for K1 and K2 classes too?

For new students including K1 & 2 new students…anyway Orientation is over and gosh, Soka is very well organised. So exciting to see DD going there. I am sure she is going to enjoy the curriculum.

My gal enjoyed her nursery class so much that she don't want to move to K1

Hello, mummies! I am pondering which school to send my boy (K1 for 2013). Thanks for the comments on Soka and anyone know whether there is still some vacancy for K1 in 2013? Soka's method seems to be quite project based and anyone knows their academic aspect (K1&K2 to prepare for P1 academics, for example) Thanks.

Personally we found they are good at letting the child to learn social values and project based through open discussion. Each project initiation & execution is based on the children inputs & discussion. There is a sense of ownership from the child based on what we have observed

No homework, except for school holidays projects, and no drilling. So this not suitable if you are looking for academic driven school

You may call them to check out more

I agree, this is a EQ driven school rather than IQ driven school. If you want your kid to do well in an academic driven school, never ever put your kid in Soka Kindergarten.

There is no spelling which is essential for reading, no chinese spelling, no Hanyu Pinyin. I had even suggested to the principal and the reply I was given was that they do not stress the kids.

Out of the 3 hrs curriculum, there is very little studies. The only thing came out good for my child in this school was that the chinese teacher was very encouraging.
