Empowering Independent Learners

Approach and Ideology

Building upon the foundation of the Primary Wing, the Middle Wing curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, collaboration, and independent learning. We aim to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to become self-directed learners who can navigate the complexities of academic content. Project-based learning, inquiry-based instruction, and technology integration are central to fostering a stimulating and engaging learning environment.
