Kindergarten Section

Our nurturing KG staff members provide an atmosphere in which life-long learners develop in a safe and secure environment. Students are encouraged to think outside the box and to share their ideas, thoughts, and use problem-solving strategies during a wide-range of learning activities. We are committed to provide a variety of learning opportunities and experiences that are based on the interests, strengths, and needs of our students, and in laying the foundation of success in learning. In National school, we truly focus on helping the whole child to grow, focusing on physical, social, emotional, cognitive and linguistic development. A key focus of our school is our relationships with our parents, and focusing on engaging them as a key part of our school. The reason for our focus in this area is simple; children thrive, learn more successfully when their parents are actively engaged, and support the school in delivering a high-quality education to them. In National school, we are offering Montessori and student led curriculum that helps student’s development and increase their motivation towards learning. As a Kindergarten staff, we are working closely with children in order to meet their different needs.
