Courses are designed to facilitate online learning for primary-age students in Primary 2 to Primary 6 levels. Each class has its own stream appropriate to its level. The courses are suitable for both Singaporeans and foreign students.
You can sign up for all three courses (English, Maths and Science) or for individual modules. The courses run simultaneously in four-weekly cycles and the live online sessions are scheduled/structured to allow participation in all three courses.
