Greeting
We prepare hands on activities so students can learn through play and interaction. We encourage our children to observe, examine, experiment, ask questions and find answers.
A safe atmosphere is established for the children, which will enable them to explore and find answers or learn new materials.
The classroom will consist of a mixed age group. This system allows younger children to be aspired and older children to excel as they teach and help the younger ones.
The children may be divided into groups according to their level for reading, writing and when it is applicable.
Our curriculum is based on a cross-curricular teaching style. The subjects taught at Best Kids International are reading, writing, math, social studies, science, art, PE and music. All subjects will be connected to our themes which will be monthly or bimonthly based.
The cross-curricular teaching style enables the children to understand concepts at a deeper level by providing them opportunities to investigate one topic from several different perspectives.
