THE FENIX SCHOOL CURRICULUM
At The Fenix School, we believe that in this ever-changing globalised world, academic skills alone are not enough and that our students need to be equipped with skills to apply knowledge in their everyday life.
We also think that there is too much competition, testing, rankings going on in our country and we want to offer an alternative primary school system based on less tests/exams for our children to evolve in a stress-free environment, more FUN, CREATIVITY & PLAY, EXPLORATION but STILL NOT COMPROMIZING ON ACADEMIC LEARNING.

PEDAGOGY
