From 3 months to Primary

Our programs

Programs from 3 months through Primary school: safe, playful, age-appropriate early childhood care, followed by strong Christ-centred Primary education.

Learning through play at every age

Our programs are organised by age group so that every activity matches what children are ready for. Each stage builds on the last, from first songs and tummy time to early reading and counting, and on into our Primary classes.

3 to 12 months

Infants

A sample school day

Children thrive on a predictable rhythm. Here is how a typical morning flows in our early childhood classes (2 to 5 years). Primary pupils follow a full school-day timetable of lessons.

For infants, the day is much more flexible and follows each baby's own feeding, sleeping and care routines.
