The Primary School
The Primary School and kindergarten provides a structured environment
in which the child is encouraged to become confident, socially adaptable
and self-disciplined, in a happy and playful atmosphere. Of paramount
importance for healthy growing up is the child's social development: learning
to share, to work and play, and to accept the wider needs of the group.
Time is set for individual work, which includes practical life exercises
especially designed to encourage concentration, co-ordination and independence.
As the children mature they are introduced to various graded exercises
to develop language and number concepts.
The child develops in a family-like atmosphere, where emphasis
is placed on personal responsibility and serious work. Children are encouraged
to give of their best.
The British Curriculum, planned as an integrated whole, together with
extra-curricular activities, combine to give the pupil a good foundation
for secondary education.
There is a continuous assessment system and progress reports are given
twice a year. In addition, teachers are available to parents at special
parents' meetings and whenever the need arises.
