Dear Parents,
In 25–30 minute lessons, children never get bored: they learn many interesting things in a playful way and complete engaging activities. During short breaks, they play and socialize under the constant supervision of our professional teachers.
After the second lesson, children are offered a light snack: sliced apples and bananas, cookies, filtered water, or apple juice.
In addition to the core subjects: arithmetic, reading and writing, and “The World Around Us”, the program includes “Jolly Notes”, where children learn songs, are introduced to the basics of music theory, listen to excerpts from classical works, and prepare for school concerts. Another class, “Skillful Hands”, allows children to create their own masterpieces, explore different craft materials, and develop fine motor skills.
From preschool age, children also get used to receiving homework after each lesson. For every subject, they have a colorful and engaging workbook in which they complete their assignments. This nurtures responsibility and perseverance, helping them achieve excellent results.
