Art
Our programme is specially-designed for playful exploration that helps children to connect naturally to the world around them and try to make sense of it. Using contemporary art to complement the traditional approach, we make art more interesting and raise the passion for creativity. We also use non-traditional mediums like metal sheets, wires and acrylic to ignite children’s imagination and inventiveness, while at the same time refining their motor skills. Our lessons immerse them in creating their own masterpieces while experiencing decision-making, problem-solving and critical thinking naturally.

Dance
Dance is not just about body movement. It’s about sparking the brain with imagination and skills to express bodily movement as an art form. Our programme helps to boost children’s communication abilities, problem- solving techniques, and creative and critical thinking skills along with kinesthetic abilities. Highly trained teachers identify each individual’s physical and mental strength and tailor lessons to meet their development. Close mentorship throughout the dance journey ensures that every child achieves their learning outcome to the best of their ability.
