How we teach

Four steps, in every subject, every week.

One class, one Thursday morning, in the order it happened.

Two handwritten cards taped to a classroom window. One reads: Do plants need soil to grow? The other reads: Do plants need sunlight to grow?
01 · ExploreTwo questions on the window, each changing one thing to test.“Do plants need soil to grow?”“Do plants need sunlight to grow?”

Why we are built this way

You should not have to choose.

Ask around and you will be handed a choice. A school that pushes, or a school that is kind. One that runs to a structure, or one that follows the child. Reading early, or being allowed to be four.

We have never accepted that those are opposites. A child can have both.

It is why every child in Preschool has an Individual Learning Plan rather than a report card.

A report card

  • Termly
  • Compares your child with the class
  • Tells you where your child placed

An ILP

  • Six areas of development
  • Written from what a teacher watched your child do
  • Rewritten every six weeks
  • Tells you what comes next

How that works in practice

Which programme is right for my child?

What families say

In their own words.

Unlike many other preschools that can feel like a ‘revolving door’ … Claire and her team gave my son as much time as he needed to feel safe and confident. They met him where he was emotionally, and that made all the difference.

Robert T. · Preschool parent

I have looked for a preschool that actively cares and listens to the child, never leaves a crying child assuming they’ll ‘just be ok’ … Agora is the place.

Avni · Preschool parent

My son comes home with all his homework completed, allowing us to enjoy quality family time before he heads to bed.

Dylan E. · Student Care parent

We appreciated the flexibility of the programme as other schools are usually unaccompanied or did not give us the option to enter the premises.

Where to find us

One centre, beside ARC.

We are newly into our centre at Fragrance Empire Building, beside ARC, and the children have already made it theirs.

Children sitting along a long wooden table on the new outdoor terrace, under a black pergola with greenery and the city beyond.
The terrace. Snack, and most of the talking, happens out here.
Eight children in their school uniforms climbing on the new wooden play frame and tyre wall, on artificial grass.
The play frame. Student Care children, straight off the school bus.
An educator reading to a circle of toddlers on the grass floor of the new early years room, beside curved wooden bookshelves.
The early years room. Books within reach of the floor, on purpose.
Children working at desks in a new classroom with a deep teal wall and a painted tree display.
A classroom. Daylight, and shelves the children can reach without asking.

The best way to judge a school is to stand in it on an ordinary morning. That is what a visit is.
