Junior School
At St. Michael School, we strive to provide a modern and engaging learning experience for our students as they progress through each academic level.
In the Early Years, we have adopted an emergent curriculum. This means that we are always looking for opportunities to engage with our students’ interests and needs, and by focusing on what the children are passionate about, we are able to make learning more meaningful and enjoyable for them.
Hands-on Approach
We have taken a hands-on approach to education whereby the children are encouraged to get involved in a variety of activities, both inside and outside the classroom. This allows them to learn by doing, and it helps to foster a love of learning that will stay with them throughout their lives.
We are well aware of the various skills needed in today’s world and therefore, over the years, our aim is to empower the children to become owners of their learning by enriching their experiences through formative practices.
