Types of Classes
Which Class Is Right for Your Child?
Choose Regular Class when your child...
- enjoys learning alongside classmates of the same academic level
- benefits from clear teacher-led explanations and a structured lesson flow
- likes progressing with the class and participating in classroom discussions
- needs broad exposure to a carefully planned range of concepts and question types
Choose Focus Class when your child...
- learns best at his or her own pace
- requires more personalised guidance in a small 1:4 setting
- needs help with schoolwork, homework, revision or specific weak areas
- is in a specialised stream such as P6 Foundation, IP or G1
- would benefit from additional support on top of a Regular Class
