Adaptation period – 3 August – 7 September 2026
The adaptation of each child is unique. Although there’s no fixed time for adaptation, this is the estimated period of time when the school and home will pay extra attention to support the child’s social, emotional and physical needs in a new environment. For a child joining us in the middle of the academic year, the adaptation period is two weeks.
*Summer programme
Mainly outdoor activities, learning by doing, field trips, exploring nature, and working in cooperation.
