Better humans for a better tomorrow

Let students enjoy childhood At St. John's Universal, we have Abacus, Vedic Math, Remedial classes and much more at school to avoid tuition or activity classes.
Abacus
Pre-primary: Learning by the play
The early childhood curriculum is designed to meet students' needs, interests and abilities to foster their holistic development. Our curriculum is inspired by Dr Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences, while our student-centric pedagogy is inspired by the Reggio-Emilia approach.
Our pedagogy: Reggio-Emilia approach
Each child is considered infinitely capable, creative and intelligent. The teacher's job is to support these qualities and challenge students in appropriate ways.
i. Students learn, express and develop critical thinking skills through projects, group work, field trips, resource books and audio-visuals.
ii. Students learn through experiences of touching, moving, listening, and observing.
iii.
Students have some control over the direction of their learning.
Developing the Whole Child
Our curriculum is based on Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory. Going with the traditional belief of IQ as the best predictor of intellect, schools focus on language, numerical and spatial abilities. Instead, based on evidence from disparate sources, the MI theory claims that humans have a number of relatively discrete intellectual capacities. Students, at an early age, should be exposed to all 8 intelligences for wholesome growth. Bring all 8 types of intelligence and their corresponding learning experiences.
Linguistic Intelligence
A phonic-based language and rich environment promote listening, speaking, reading and writing, plus vocabulary enrichment.
Interpersonal Intelligence Group work with both peers and adults builds confidence and positive relationships.
Intrapersonal Intelligence
Self-awareness grows through prayer and reflection.
Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence
Sand play, water play, dance, drama and yoga promote the development of fine and gross motor skills.
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
Numeracy and mathematical skills are built by observing order, patterns and relationships, cause and e ect, abstract symbols and concepts of time, space and quantity in the universe.
Naturalistic Intelligence
A love for one's natural and cultural environment blossoms through interactions with the real world.
Visual-Spatial Intelligence
Scribbling, drawing, colouring, painting, origami and other cra work hone the child's aesthetic sense.
Musical Intelligence
MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES AT UNIVERSAL
Songs and poetry teach rhythm, pitch and balance.
