Discover Our Inventive Programs for Your Child
Our classes are organised into 'Stages' — Foundational™, Pragmatic™, and Discovery™ Stage.
Each stage spans two years and caters to different age groups with tailored teaching methods. We start with a play-based approach in the Foundational Stage™, followed by two years of formal learning in the Pragmatic Stage™, and conclude with the Discovery Stage™, where children explore creative and practical learning. More details are available below and on our Pedagogy page.
This approach allows us to focus on fundamental concept learning for children aged 2-4, encouraging them to become naturally curious learners. We give them the time and space to grasp concepts such as letters, shapes, numbers, and colors at their own pace. To learn more about these distinctions, scroll down.
Foundational Stage
A stage dedicated to young students who are just beginning their educational career. Based on the ‘Minimalism’ principle and retaining interest while transferring young learners into a more formal learning setting.
For 2-4-year-olds
Open Play-Based Classrooms | Led by the Child | Teacher Guides | Children learn at their own Pace
Pragmatic & Discovery Stage
This stage is for students who have completed our foundational stage. Empowering children to participate in developmentally appropriate learning experiences, develop social and academic skills, and prepare for the transition to first grade and school in general.
For 4-8-year-olds
Conventional Classrooms | Guided by the Teacher | Students prepare for Future Schooling | Time based Projects

Developed for the child based on developmental milestones.
The Foundational Stage™ emphasizes play-based learning through instructive and open-ended toys as well as learning tools. Lessons are child-led, meaning the child chooses what they want to explore, with minimal instructor intervention. Teachers assist in making these learning experiences more memorable, based on the child’s interests. Instructional materials are selected to align with the child’s curiosity, and we do not impose time restrictions on their activities
The second stage is known as the Pragmatic Stage™, where we maintain a 40:60 balance between play-based learning and traditional classroom instruction. The goal is to provide a more practical approach to learning and prepare children for formal schooling. This stage is designed for children aged 4 and up, covering classes K1 and K2.
Following the Pragmatic Stage™ is the Discovery Stage™, where children in Class 1 and Class 2 focus on exploring concepts through creative and hands-on learning, fostering independence and problem-solving skills as they transition into formal education.
Each stage contributes something special to the child's development.
The way a teacher conducts the lesson is one of the key variations between these stages. While the kid leads the class in the foundational™ stage by following his or her natural learning inclinations, the teacher leads the class in the pragmatic™ stage. Second, the foundational™ stage promotes a child’s imaginative talents
through emotional, sensory, and social learning, whereas pupils in the pragmatic™ stage learn to extend their attention span while focusing more on traditional teacher-led learning approaches. Finally, our focus swings between these two levels, with the foundational™ stage emphasising self-learning. We focus more on making the transition to more formal learning approaches in the pragmatic™ stage.
Learning Development
How a Child Learns
1
Peer Learning
A child learns from peers & replicates behaviour whether good or bad. These lessons channel to the next learning phase where a child learns the difference between good & bad.
2
Authoritative Learning
A child learns from adults where firm, realistic boundaries are set for your child in a compassionate way. This enables longer attention span development & early experience of consequential thinking.
3
Material Learning
A simple shape toy is a perfect example of material learning. This type of learning keeps aiding us well into adulthood where objects are the centrepiece to how to perceive our environment.
4
Imaginative Learning
A lot of great ideas come through dreams. Dreams are a chain of vivid imagination inspired by real-life learning events.
