We Aspire to Help Kids Become 

Problem-Solvers. Critical-Thinkers. Collaborators. Communicators. Resilient

 

The World is Changing

Fact 1: Problem-Solving, Strategic-Thinking and Tech Skills are the Top 3 skills employers are looking for

Fact 2: The World Bank says that South East Asia lags in this because much of what our kids are taught is "procedural" and rote based.

Who We Are

We are an online-to-offline school that offers courses and camps in digital literacy skills and 21st century skills which are key for our children's future.

We were founded in 2016 by parents who saw that the world has changed and what our kids need for a happy and successful future is changing, but education hasn't.
