Why We Categorize Learning Levels
By categorizing students into these levels, we can tailor our teaching methods and materials to better suit the developmental stage and learning needs of each child. This ensures that every student receives the appropriate support and challenge to excel in their education.
Get Involved
We encourage parents to be active participants in their child's educational journey. By understanding our learning levels, you can better support your child at home and collaborate with our teachers to ensure their success.
