Beginner’s class

Our beginner’s class teachers use a variety of teaching styles and techniques during lessons, including whole class, ability groups, mixed ability groups, and paired working.

Children are taught Buddhism and Sinhala Language, and the level of work is tailored to individual ability. A broad and balanced curriculum is planned and taught in a happy and stimulating environment. We make every effort to allocate a child to a class based on their knowledge and ability.
