Explore our Discovery Forest

The Discovery Forest, an awe-inspiring nature-filled resource area, is creatively designed for curious young minds as they pass through Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Sensory resources will activate all five senses of the little ones passing by touching and smelling the aroma of different leaves while hearing the nearby water gushing into the irrigation project. Heading to their plantation beds they prepare the soil to plant their seeds or cuddle up either on their soft cushions or climb onto their imaginative mushroom stools and get engrossed in their reading! They may find their friends either having a blast because it’s their rainy day in the rain area or they may find some in the market area trying out new vocabulary during their role-play period! The novel amphitheater gives them endless opportunities to express themselves in drama and art and the innovative sand box will not distract them when they learn what to think and how to think – enhancing their metacognitive abilities!

These labs are the answer to quench their thirst for curiosity and students are kept totally busy in finding the answers to their own unstoppable questions of how, why, who, when and what, by doing, investigating, observing and experimenting!

 

Explore our Life Skills

As high school educators with varied levels of experience in the field, we recognized our students were being taught to regurgitate information upon request, rather than to think, plan, and act independently. To counter this, the Life Skills Training Track has been created for our Key Stage 4 students. While preparing for their IGCSE, AS and A Levels qualification, they are taught communication and interpersonal skills, decision-making and problem-solving, creative and critical thinking, emotional intelligence with self-awareness and empathy.
