Learning Outcomes
Our job is to establish routines, self-discipline, responsibility and independence in your son. His job is to consciously develop the skills, capabilities and character traits – under our mentorship and guidance – that will serve him all his days. Together we help your son through exploring passions, pursuits and fun, to know which direction he wants to go in once he completes his school journey.
