“Paula’s Academy Class has an excellent reputation for quality teaching”
Paula's Academy is a special classroom designed specifically for older children aged 3-5, dedicated to preparing your child for the transition to primary school.
Our Academy Room is a sunny, warm and inviting classroom that children are excited to be a part of. This unique concept classroom allows our skilled Academy teacher to work alongside a small intimate group of children, as well as providing one-on-one learning experiences, in a calm, settled environment. Children participate in hands-on learning projects while incorporating “STEAM” based learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math). All children benefit from quality time in our programme, becoming eager learners.
With an emphasis on a balance of ‘teacher led’ and ‘child led’ learning, children thrive in the Academy Room. French doors open up to our expansive outdoor area which provides a unique balance of indoor and outdoor Academy learning. This classroom leads to a smooth transition into primary education where children are confident and capable learners.

“Both of our children have been involved in the Academy programme. Our eldest is now at primary school, and not only did she have a head start with her learning, she easily slotted into the school routine and was able to make friends quickly and easily. Our son who is almost four is currently enrolled in the Academy room. He really looks forward to going to ‘school’ each day, which is cute. I think it’s the great relationship he has with his teacher, the intimate group of children his own age who are his buddies, and carefully thought out classroom activities. He is so eager to get involved! I am always recommending the programme to others.”
“Morgan transitioned into school easily. The academy programme really promotes the love of learning. Morgan has an active mind and the structure channelled his learning into the right direction to become a lifelong learner.”
