Uniqueness of the School

Emphasis on languages

English: the school creates an environment for the students to maintain a high level of proficiency of the language to stay ahead of the average individual.

• This is done through the teaching of proper speech & drama when the child is in Tahap 1 [lower primary]
• As the years progress, public speaking and debating are taught and inter-class/inter-schools competitions are organized to give children's mastery of the language
• They inadvertently learn well and gain confidence when their command of English is good

Mandarin: Mandarin is compulsory for all students.

• A well planned system is employed to selectively review progress of the students and teach them accordingly
• The objective is for all the students to learn the language at their own pace and capability through class-room learning and various activities

Primary School:

• All primary students are 'blocked' into 2 groups for Mandarin classes
• Chinese students will attend R.E.A.L Mandarin classes
• Non-Chinese students are taught Mandarin Communicative Classes

Secondary School:

• The secondary school is split into 3 groups
• Students joining us from Chinese Primary schools will be prepared for the Mandarin public exams in Secondary 3 & 5 [PMR/SPM]
• The 'intermediate' group will attend R.E.A.L Mandarin classes
• The rest will be taught Mandarin Communicative Classes

Bahasa Malaysia: Proficiency in BM is evidenced in the fact that our students perform very well in public examinations. Usually, the school scores a 100% pass in BM in UPSR.

Result Enhancing through Active Learning is a concept that Education Ventures has authored.

• The mission of the school is to transform everyone students & teachers alike to be an active learner; one who actively searches and experiments
• In this process, he/she adapts to changes and is encouraged to improvise for self-improvement
• Then through a rigorous process of learning and coaching to develop life-skills, the student gradually matures to produce enhancing results

Multiple Intelligences Approach:
The understanding of MI is the understanding of how children learn.

• Dr Howard Gardner's research suggested that children learn best through their own areas of intelligences
• There are 8 areas in all and each child has these intelligences in varying degrees
• Our aim is to discover the MIs of each child and bring out the best in him/her

How we do this:

• The teaching methodologies are designed to include all these areas in one lesson
• Thus everyone understands the subject in his/her own way
• In order to harness the MI approach, teachers go through extensive training on Multi-faceted teaching, a method that complements the MI concept
• Children loves this fun-learning and most importantly, they learn well!

Character Building:
Every student goes through the coaching process in character building.

• The major learning avenues are usually in extra-curricular activities, school & company projects [like charity carnivals] and off-campus camps
• Professional coaches and our own teachers give valuable debriefings after each activity
• Indeed, the school is a wholesome training ground for character building
