The Little Academy

The Little Academy (TLA) is a preschool and kindergarten that caters for children between the ages of 2 – 5 years and has been established since 2002. The Little Academy is a candidate school for the Primary Years Programme (PYP). The school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that The Little Academy believes is important for our children.

Our aim is to help the children to develop their personalities in a warm and loving environment. It is important for this age group is that the children are happy and in a safe environment that helps them develop and grow. We work on enhancing character building, social skills, emotional growth and language development.

For today and tomorrow, The Little Academy’s mission is to provide quality educational system to develop our children’s personalities and learning abilities in order to become lifelong learners and be effective in their community and globally.

Our philosophy at The Little Academy is "I am! I can!" this means that children should feel they are able to do anything. Our goal is to help children develop into confident and competent human beings. We encourage children to think creatively and use all their senses in every facet of learning.

TLA's Vision is to develop learners who are knowledgeable, risk takers, peaceful, challenged, who are lifelong learners and open minded and understand that other people with their differences can be right. TLA will promote young learners to be aware of their immediate community and the world at large.

"I am! I can!" will help children grow in the five areas of human growth and development, namely physical, social, emotional, intellectual and cultural. Learning at TLA is always fun with a purpose. The children will have the experiences that are necessary to make the lessons memorable. Children will be actively involved with their environment and in the learning process.

We believe that languages are our windows to the world. The learners’ mother tongue is their heritage and instills pride in the learner. Being a bilingual school gives support and importance to enhance the learners’ language skills in order to communicate globally.
