It All Starts in Preschool!
The child is the father of man! ~William Wordsworth
Preschool is where…
Little fingers begin to zip and button.
Little eyes explore the world around them.
Little hands start to form numbers and letters.
Little minds expand with new ideas.
Little feet move, jump, and follow the beat.
Little smiles make new friends.
Little hearts leap with joy.
And the journey begins!
Children want love, warmth and laughter.
You can never spoil a child with too much love. It’s quite the contrary, a loved child feels secure.
When challenged, children cooperate only if they understand what we want them to do. Just then, they do their best.
Teens in the Making!
No more a child, not yet an adolescent.
At this age, between 9 and 12, enormous shifts in the child’s physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development occur.
At this age, students build their identity, and this is a major factor in determining the life they will lead.
Even if, in their parents’ eyes, they still need close follow-up, the tweens can be autonomous and independent.
And the EII Division is the place to be.
The Intermediate Division
Physical growth, increased decision making, search for identity and independence, rebellion, distraction, changing friendships, … Does this sound familiar? Welcome to the Intermediate Division, the home of the not-a-kid-anymore but not-a-grown-up-yet! A confusing, challenging, yet rewarding phase! The peak of adolescence, the start of assertiveness, and the transition into adulthood.
The Secondary Division
The last step in our second home. Not the easiest, and certainly not the most trivial.
The final sprint starts with the choices each one has to make and the decisions one has to take. The decisive finale!
The challenges appear, the character is molded, the attitude matures, the teenage years give way to adulthood, and the future starts looming ahead.
With this, we put an end to childhood and to school, one of the best parts of our lives.
