Hi Memories,


DD is in Ascension for the second year. Started N1 last year in Mar (term2), as they do not accept children born after sept in term 1 as they find that they are too young.
The curriculum of the school is very good and the teachers are all very caring and motherly kind. You don't hear those shouting and raised voices like most of the child care centres that you visit. :lightrod:
My boy has developed a love for school and \"misses\" his friends whenever he is unable to make it for school. For N1 students, they will be having gym class once a week. And N2 has sports ball and structured gym once a week. A lot of time is dedicated to play and hands on activities, building self help skills and decision making by the children themselves.
In N1, the classes are taught basic letters only. Lots of free play.
In N2, the introduce a theme call \" You can do it\" and in incorporates getting to share, taking turns, building confidence in oneself, and persistence.
This program is good as they need to learn practical social skills as this age. They will only be starting to do readers now after completing the phonics sound in Term 1 and 2. So everything has a theme and classes are structured progressively and in a slow but acceptable pace for children their age.
What I like about the school is the holistic environment and teaching values.
School is well organised and functions well. The year end concert is one big event as the school is quite big. Last year the concert lasted a whole two hours! :boogie:
The principal is also a very hands on lady that is very visible and I'm amazed that she remembers most of the students in School!
I remember that when I was searching for info on the school and the net and couldn't find any and positive ones. But honestly, the school is very popular. But they just started 2 more N1 classes, making it 5 in total for N1. And as the class progresses, the school is getting bigger! Which I personally don't like the idea as the school premise and compound is fixed. Means fighting for space for a growing pool of students. I don't like the in between class transition, and that is a complete waste of time.
For K1 onwards, they will have compulsory computer time, which parents have to pay extra for the classes. Effectively taking away learning time from the 3 hour curriculum. I personally find that 3 hours learning is already very short. So enrichment is a must for me. Not saying that the computer class is not gd. But if parents are paying extra for those classes, shouldn't it be on top of the 3 hours?
Well, there is no perfect school out there. All have strengths and weaknesses. So it depends on what you want most and if the school is able to give you that.

For me, so long my boy is happy, able to develop holistically, and the teachers are good. I'm happy.
