At Jewels Leading Lights Academy, our educational philosophy revolves around a child-centered approach, emphasizing neither imposing on our students nor leaving them entirely to free play. Our classrooms are enriched with Montessori didactic materials spanning five essential curriculum areas:

Child-Centered Learning:

At Jewels Leading Lights Academy, our educational philosophy centers around child-driven learning. Our dedicated teachers strike a balance between gentle guidance and fostering independence, ensuring that students neither feel imposed upon nor left to total free play.

Exploring the Senses in Sensorial Education:

Engaging a child’s curiosity, our Sensorial Education approach at Jewels Leading Lights Academy goes beyond traditional teaching. Through activities that stimulate taste, touch, smell, sight, and hearing, students explore and understand the world around them, delving into colors, textures, tastes, numbers, and various sensory-rich situations.

ACE-Infused Math Mastery: Montessori & EYFS Excellence at Jewels Leading Lights Academy:

Experience the magic of math at Jewels Leading Lights Academy, where Montessori-inspired learning, integrated with Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and ACE, comes to life. Students engage with tactile Montessori materials like number rods and golden beads, fostering a deep understanding of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This hands-on approach lays a solid foundation for mathematical proficiency, ensuring a well-rounded education for every child.

Language Development Unveiled:

In the realm of language development, Jewels Leading Lights Academy employs innovative methods. From cultivating written expression and reading skills to honing writing, oral, and grammatical abilities, our students utilize tools like sandpaper and a large movable alphabet to enhance their language skills.

Cultural Enrichment Beyond the Classroom:

Jewels Leading Lights Academy takes cultural subjects to new heights, introducing students to geography, biology, life sciences, music, and art through hands-on experiences with didactic apparatus. This immersive approach lays the groundwork for independent personality development, cultural adaptation, and instills a sense of responsibility to contribute meaningfully to society.
