As our young scholars enter Year One, they encounter an exciting blend of structure and flexibility. Our unique curriculum comes to life through adaptive learning strategies (dual coding and supportive scaffolding) tailored to individual needs. Cooperative learning activities in Year One foster teamwork, communication, and a sense of shared achievement, setting the stage for academic success and personal growth.
