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.
