Foundation Phase
Elsen uses an integrative, tailored programme that aims to develop phonological, literacy, mathematical, and creative problem-solving skills in a fun an inclusive environment. The three main learning areas are language, mathematics and life skills that include creative arts and physical education. We create opportunities for personal and intellectual growth so that learners can become well-rounded individuals.
Intermediate Phase
Learners are led into more abstract thought and independent work. We teach them how to apply the skills and concepts they have learned. We create a safe environment to develop creativity and critical thinking by encouraging children to ask questions, establish independent behaviour, provide additional and tailored support systems to develop and grow the learner’s individuality and strengths.
