Teaching experts

Specialist Teaching Expertise.

Children thrive on a rich and exciting curriculum from the beginning of their educational journey at the Prep School, taught by subject specialists as well as experienced class teachers. The Prep School curriculum is designed to stretch children further than in a typical junior school setting, redefining the teaching and learning of humanities to deliver Geography and History as discrete subjects, and harnessing research from cognitive science about how children learn and retain long-term knowledge.

From Year 5, we provide a breadth of learning experience that encompasses everything from Philosophy Politics and Economics to Critical Thinking, Mandarin and the Arts, and our broad-ranging curriculum is taught entirely by subject specialists.
