Best After School with Chinese Enrichment Programmes

午后学堂 SchoolAfterSchool (SAS) is all about providing a holistic learning environment to children beyond school hours. It is also a safe and nurturing home for the children here.

SAS provides a robust bilingual environment to the primary school children, laying special emphasis on Chinese culture and values. It’s hard to come across an after-school care (student care centre) in Singapore with a suite of facilities from classrooms, cafeteria, multi sports hall, outdoor held and garden.

SAS’s unique programme is built on UNESCO’s four pillars of education namely: Learning To Know, Learning To Do, Learning To Be and Learning To Live Together. Here, children are encouraged to develop a life-long love for learning.

SAS afterschool care programme works on 5 focus areas for the child: Character Development, Intellectual, Physical and Social Skills Development, and Aesthetic and Creative Cultivation. Lessons are designed to promote cognitive skills and language fluency while also working concurrently on character development. Students learn to recite ‘弟子规 Standards for being a Good Pupil and Child’ while teachers reinforce the values by sharing real life examples.

SAS stands by 10 core values that can be expressed using the acronym THE CREATOR – thankfulness,

harmony, excellence, caring, respect, equality, advancement, teamwork, open mindedness, and reflection. As an extension of its core values, SAS teaches children to give back to society with its annual community outreach programmes such as inter-generation activities with the seniors and recycling projects.

The teaching methodology at SAS is a good mix of theory and activity-based teaching. SHHKCA’s after school programme is well known for its excellent Chinese immersion, facilitated through Chinese Speech and Drama Training and development of Chinese Recitation and Writing Skills. At the same time, SAS provides daily homework supervision and spellings revision, so children are well prepared for school. The thematic learning at SAS allows students to identify their strengths and maximize their potential with the help of the experienced after-school facilitators. SAS also offers Outdoor Sports, Wushu, Zumba and Creative arts for all-round development of children in their care.

Parents can rest assured of excellent facilities at SHHKCA’s after-school care centre as it is fully-airconditioned and equipped with a designated study area to provide a conducive learning environment to the children. With regular updates, parents can also keep abreast of their child’s progress and partake in their growth journey. Learn more here:
