 > Junior School
Children get a head start at SJR by being exposed to the latest teaching methods for the crucial learning years that begin in Kindergarten.
Emerging brain research confirms that a breathtaking capacity for learning exists in very young children, and as their brains develop, the role of the teacher is fundamental to a child’s success in later years.
We understand the power of these young minds and work to cultivate each student to his or her fullest potential in a nurturing, safe, fun environment.
