Academic


The Programs Being Offered – 1 Early Years Classes


Nursery – to Kindergarten.


Using the Australian Curriculum, all children work towards the attainment of clearly defined educational outcomes.


The academic focus is literacy, numeracy and the creative arts of music and visual art. Our curriculum is always embedded in the local and international context, with adjustments made to take account of our location, and the nationality of our students.
