Get Acquainted With The Secondary English Syllabus to Bounce Back Stronger
The Secondary English Syllabus is vastly different and more challenging than Primary English.

Our Secondary 1 English Crashcourse in March is designed to get your child acquainted with the skills to navigate Secondary English and restart stronger in Term 2.
This 2-day program covers Situational Writing and Narrative Comprehension - two fundamental segments introduced in Secondary 1 English, with distinctively different marking requirements.
Equip your child with the skills and strategies to begin their Secondary English Journey on firm footing!
