Our Services and Programmes (GEMS. Time)

In our Knowledge Park Systemic Learning Framework (KPSLF), we strongly advocate the partnership between the Centre, the Parents and the School to provide an enriching learning journey for each student.In addition to close supervision of school homework, we offer exciting programmes specially designed for your child’s holistic development.

Learning Styles Profiling

Students will undergo individual self-assessment (Dunn & Dunn Learning Styles Profiling) to identify their own Personality, Learning and Thinking Styles. The Learning Styles report will enable our programme staff to understand the needs of the student better.

Character Development

Our CharacterDevelopment programme aims to promote gracious living and positive social interaction among students. We also aims to promote social and emotional learning in the students, providing them with skills to be a self-motivated and self-directed learner with strong positive values.

GEMS Time

GEMS Time is a unique, fun enrichment programme that teaches students the relevant skills and mind-sets for holistic development. Life skills taught in this programme include personal motivation, goal setting, oral and presentation skills, writing strategies and creativity and innovation.

Outdoor Activities

Students will be engaged in outdoor activities to build and develop their social-emotional skills. It helps students to self-regulate their emotions, increase their imagination, contribute to their cognitive development, and facilitate their social & interaction skills.
