My elder one graduated from ZP JW last year and my second one still in K1. Both of them started in JW branch at the age of 2+, from weekend class to daily class eventually. I have seen both of them progress with the school and I would say they have good teachers and a sound curriculum.


In nursery classes, the emphasis is on phonics, reading (english and chinese) and element of fun and play are injected in the learning process, including science, maths and general knowledge.

In Kindi level, the school starts to gear the students towards the mainstream school expectations. This include spelling, sentences writing, word blending, hanyu pin yin, maths concept, plus science/general knowledge.

I would say it is a balance between being academic and learning through play/exploration/creativity.

CDA cannot be use for ZP, unfortunately.

Thanks so much for the feedback...at least i got better idea of the school

Hi my elder son started K1 last year in zoo phonics. Before joining the class, they did a phonics test with him to decide if he needs extra coaching. So he has to take 6 extra classes before K1 term1. By K1 term2, i have seen much improvement in his phonics and he autocorrect us too…


At end of K1, his teacher has seen vast improvement in him. As parents, we can see what kind of things teacher teaches in class as there is a folder brought back every friday full of worksheets.

Do note that this school does not follow the normal school holidays…Only 3 weeks of school holidays per year if u opt in for holiday programs.

Exactly, the kids will be accompanied by the bus assistant to and from the classes. After dismissal, the teachers will only let the kids go out after the bus assistant turn up.
