Overview
Our Secondary programmes provide children with the opportunity to experience, learn and socialize in a relaxed and multicultural environment. At Prime School you will find students creating a robot or making a video, playing chess or shooting hoops, helping each other study or forming a club. Teachers are there alongside them, facilitating, guiding and showing them that learning does not need to take on the tone and texture of a boring school day, but rather a fun-filled one.
