Through a well-planned curriculum, we offer challenging and rich learning opportunities where a child’s desire and curiosity to learn will be stimulated and fulfilled.  We encourage a positive self-image, independence and self-confidence.  We understand that children develop at an individual pace and each child is encouraged to reach his/her full potential.

The School follows the English National Curriculum, but has a more flexible approach as it is mindful of the local educational needs and culture.  It is a private Cypriot School which adheres to directives from the Ministry of Education and Culture.  The staff maintains an empathy with the student body and its varied academic needs.  Furthermore, most of our staff is bilingual which allows for better communication with the pupils under their tutelage.

Our curriculum maintains a balance between structured activities and free play.  We follow early learning goals for the Foundation Stage as set out in the English National Curriculum.  In addition, we follow the aims outlined by the Cyprus Ministry of Education and Culture and the Department of Labour and Social Welfare who regularly inspect the facility.
 
The areas of learning are:-

Communication, Language and Literacy
Mathematical Development
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Physical Development
Creative Development
Knowledge and Understanding of the World

We carefully monitor and assess each child’s development.  Parents are informed (on a regular basis) about their child’s progress.

Our Kindergarten prepares children for an easy transition to the Reception classes of our school or a smooth transfer to the Greek Pre-Primary and Primary Schools.
