Creating a solid foundation for future learning
Shaping those first five crucial years is a shared responsibility between parents and early childhood educators. Many decisions have to be made, many questions should be asked to ensure your child has an outstanding introduction to the world of education.
- It is the child’s first experience of a school
- Brain development in the first five years is crucial to future success and development
- Early Years is the most important time in a child’s life. A structured personalized learning environment supports their natural thirst for learning and encourages future risk-taking and development
Nurturing independent learning skills, and encouraging every student to take responsibility for their learning, our curriculum at MSE develops students’ academic, social and emotional well-being, while simultaneously focusing on international-mindedness and the development of strong personal values.
