1.Our improved English Programme
In this comprehensive English programme, the pupils can progress from as young as 2.5 years old to 11 years old in their language learning. To further improve the quality of our teaching and curriculum, we have divided the 2.5-5 age group into 3 levels and the 6-8 / 8-11 age groups into 2 levels. With multiple levels, the pupils will be in a class with peers with similar language proficiency, that better suit the unique needs of each pupil. Our experienced and caring native English teachers use a variety of teaching strategies to ensure that every child can succeed and enjoy their language-learning journey.
One of the highlights in our Academy for Kindergarten pupils will be the newly designed ‘Little Welly Weekend Club’. On Saturday mornings, children from 2.5-4.5 years old can join our Nest Kindergarten for a morning full of fun, learning and diverse activities. The weekend club is suitable for current Nest pupils as well as children who are interested in our Kindergarten.
Our programme has three main categories that include immersive English, outdoor learning and expressive art. All courses are being taught in small groups by our highly quality Wellington staff and carefully selected long-term activity vendors.
This programme is very suitable to let your child get familiar with the Wellington Kindergarten, International learning environment and in a playful way to improve their skills.
