Pre-Primary School

Stage 1Nursery, Prep I and Prep II

The first school a child remembers

These are the years when a child decides whether school is a place they want to be. Everything here is arranged around that decision — a slow start, a familiar adult, and days that move at the pace of a four-year-old rather than a timetable.

Settling in first

The first weeks are about the place and the person, not the syllabus. Children come to know one teacher and a small group of classmates before anything formal begins.

Learning through play

Letters, sounds and numbers arrive through stories, rhymes, sorting, drawing and movement. There are no examinations at this stage and no ranks.

A day with a shape to it

Assembly, work, play, rest, and home — the same rhythm each day, because small children settle when they know what comes next.

The detailed pre-primary programme, timings and settling-in arrangements are explained to parents at the time of admission.
