A Perfect Blend of Academics, Play, and Creativity
At The New School, we believe that every child deserves a tailored learning journey that celebrates their individuality while preparing them for a bright future. Our programs are thoughtfully crafted to cater to the unique developmental needs of children across different age groups, combining structured academics, creative exploration, and hands-on experiences.
Through a balance of emotional, social, cognitive, and physical development, our programs are designed to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and compassion. Here’s an in-depth look at what makes our programs special.
At The New School, we make learning an imaginative and joyful journey for our kindergarteners. Our multi-sensory approach transforms abstract concepts into engaging, memorable experiences that capture children’s natural curiosity and creativity.
- Visual approach–Learning through seeing
- Auditory approach–Learning through hearing
- Kinaesthetic approach–Learning through doing
Take the letter “K” as an example: it’s not just taught as a set of three lines but introduced as a lively and regal figure—the King—who loves flying his kites. Through a captivating story narrated by the teacher and illustrated on the board, the letter K comes to life.
Children actively participate by replicating the King and his kites with their little hands, deepening their understanding through hands-on engagement. This fun and interactive method not only reinforces the concept but also helps children connect emotionally with their learning. By infusing joy into their lessons, we ignite a lifelong passion for discovery, ensuring their curiosity remains vibrant and thriving!
