- High School – a highly personalized grades 9 - 12

- Science Around - a network of science experience centres
How do we enable your child's passion?
Children learn in dynamic bite-size chunks
Our learning modules lasting from 2 hours to 2 months to 2 years. They enable higher retention of knowledge, quicker application of skills, and the chance to fail faster. They’re also dynamic and entirely customisable, enabling your child to build a flexible learn journey that works for them.
Children make decisions about their own learning
We help them identify their interests and passions. And, they chart out their own learning journeys balancing their commitments; enabling them to live their lives to the fullest.
Learn a variety of things in several ways
At beyond 8, learning is not limited to conventional classrooms. Children learn in a safe, collaborative spaces spread across your neighborhood, they travel to where the source of the knowledge or experience is, they learn through online sessions or decide elsewhere they would like to learn today.
Learn directly from experts who practise it for a living
Practising experts from the industry not only design the modules, they also guide your child through its learning and application. This experience is augmented by shared peer learning in a safe collaborative environment.
