ACT 2: Curriculum
STUDENTS LOVE OUR THEMES! Each term, our learning themes provide a rich mix of stories, songs, videos and art. One or two class sessions are actually trips to Arts performances and tours in Singapore or your child's in-class performance!
Our Philosophy, “Preparing you for LIFE through the ARTS & HISTORY!”, inspires our team to achieve our company’s goal to provide the most positive and joyful learning experiences for children enrolled in our classes, while developing in each a more in-depth knowledge of themselves, others, and the beautiful and expressive world of the Arts.
Unique & Interactive Learning Stations
ACTs of life’s dynamic, interactive classes stretch each child’s potential for learning!
Students move through interactive learning stations that are updated as our themes change. There is something for every child-- from ages 1.5 to 15 years!
Children actively explore ARTsy stations: Mozart’s Music Station, Lea Salonga’s Performance Station, Shakespeare’s Reading Station, Monet’s Art Station, and more.
Our exciting curriculum encourages CREATIVITY! Movement, laughter and FUN are always part of our lessons. Students practice various life and academic skills through a unique blend of stories, songs and drama in a learning environment that is resource-rich and always developmentally appropriate.
Children learn at a surprising rate!
