NURSERY
The beginning of a great journey
Our nursery is characterised by a warm, family-like and welcoming environment. Babies develop their physical and cognitive abilities with a strong focus on emotional wellbeing and secure attachments, supported by close communication and collaboration with families.
DAY CARE
Discovering and Playing
In our day care, activities are guided by pedagogical, socio-emotional, hygiene and safety principles, promoting the child’s holistic development. Children’s needs, interests and autonomy are respected, with English playing a particularly important role.
PRE-SCHOOL
Education that Inspires
In Pre-School, children develop skills and knowledge through play, preparing them for a challenging and ever-changing future. Learning is active and child-centred, emerging from children’s interests and their interaction with others and the environment.<br>This approach promotes cognitive, physical and socio-emotional skills such as critical thinking, planning, initiative, collaborative work, self-confidence and autonomy. Based on internationally recognised standards, our curriculum includes a strong English-language component, supported by the Cambridge Early Years programme.
PRIMARY SCHOOL
Curiosity and Skills Development

CAMBRIDGE
International Education
Cambridge Primary introduces children to an exciting educational journey, clearly defining what they should be able to do at each stage of primary education. Cambridge Early Years and Cambridge Primary are the first stages of the Cambridge Pathway, equipping pupils with the knowledge and skills they need for life, helping them progress at school, university and beyond.
A love of learning
The Cambridge programme is built around what matters most to children as they begin their education:
Strong foundations and excellent progression
Each stage builds on the previous one or aligns with other education systems, ensuring children feel confident and prepared for the next step in their learning journey.
Global learners in a local context
Cambridge Early Years and Cambridge Primary help pupils develop new skills and discover a wider world. Subjects such as Cambridge Global Perspectives™ foster broad thinking, helping children understand their own culture, community and identity, as well as those of people around the world.
A flexible approach
Cambridge programmes work alongside the national curriculum, offering international education that fits naturally within the local and national context.
We believe education works best when curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment are fully aligned. This allows children to enjoy a richer learning experience and grow as lifelong learners.
What are the benefits for your child?
Your child’s needs as a learner are at the heart of our educational approach. This supports the development of pupils who are:
- Confident in working with information and ideas – their own and others’
- Responsible, empathetic and respectful of others
- Curious and motivated to learn
- Innovative and prepared for future challenges
- Intellectually and socially engaged, ready to make a difference
