It is our intention to provide children with 21st-century skills through a holistic constructivist program which engages children in play and inquiry-based learning.  We will celebrate and build on strengths while identifying areas of growth and development. ELFi GPS Innovative education system as the structure to be used in positive learning environments that are conducive to learning. The ELFi GPS innovative education system consists of 3 educational purposes, 5 development areas, 46 skills indicators, 10 competency goals and 12 disciplines.

We adopt a constructivist approach: children construct knowledge rather than just passively taking in information. We let children experience the world and reflect upon these experiences. They build their own representations and incorporate new information into their pre-existing knowledge. We use Project Based Learning to make learning more fun and engaging. An integrated, and interdisciplinary approach to learning will develop children's comprehensive abilities, including hands-on skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Prepare children for the challenges of the future.

Children will be encouraged to discover who they are, where they are in time and space and how they express themselves, how the world works and how they organize themselves and share the planet.
