 Help students build their future
 Why 7-12 years old students?
– 7-10 years old : Concrete Operational Stage
Try things out in the real world “Play and Learn”
– 11-12 years old : Formal Operational Stage
Think about abstract concepts, be more logical and step into adulthood
“Seeding the happiness memory plant in their minds”
Our Students

 Why government schools with < 300 students?

students
– Less budget to schools without reputation
