About this centre
The St. Peter’s Kumon Centre is situated on the school campus in the Boy’s Senior Preparatory School. The Centre operates from the knowledge base at St. Peter’s and welcomes children from all sections of the school, including St. Peter’s College. It also attracts and welcomes students from many surrounding schools in the area.
The Kumon Centre is easily accessible. The school has safe and secure parking for parents behind a security gate and a fully-manned main guard house. There are wheelchair facilities available and a peaceful parent waiting area which contains benches and trees.
The focus in the centre is primarily on each child. There is a specific Early Learning area for younger children and a reading area where recommended books are provided for differentiated levels of learning.
The centre provides a warm, safe and caring environment in which young minds can flourish, strive for knowledge and fulfil their potential. Instructional assistants are trained in the Kumon Method and are hardworking, committed and passionate. They always have the student’s best interests at heart.
St. Peter’s Kumon Centre implements the Kumon Method in all instructional procedures, thus effectively inspiring and nurturing children to develop long term life skills and optimise their inherent capabilities. Success is based on the structure, discipline and application of the Kumon Method. Students not only learn sound numeracy and literacy skills, but develop life skills of commitment, resilience, determination and focus on mastery. Daily study, time management, practice and repetition have a positive impact on building self-confidence. Through intrinsic motivation and self-discovery, children become empowered to reach their full potential.
The element of differentiation is always considered and practised in the centre: the awareness that every child is an individual and each has their own experience, ability, interests, emotions and patterns of learning. The centre aims to accommodate and encourage each child’s sentiments and individual learning capacity.
The Instructor feels privileged to be afforded the opportunity to nurture, inspire, motivate and extend students to flourish and reach levels of learning way beyond their curriculum.
