What this means
The teaching approach
An academic (or structured) program has more teacher-led lessons and routines to prepare children for the structure of kindergarten. Play-based means children learn through free and guided play — social skills, problem-solving, and early academics emerge through play rather than direct teaching.
The language model
This school teaches primarily in English.
