Springboard to academic excellence

Get a head start on academic excellence

The Swot Shop Springboard Program is for students in Kindergarten and Year 1.

These programs engage bright young children in fun, challenging and stimulating activities to assist in the development of their reading, writing, number and thinking skills. Research has shown that the early development of thinking skills leads to more rapid progress later in the learning of reading, writing and maths.

The programs aim to equip young learners with the skills and confidence they need to excel academically and personally and get a great start to their educational journey.

By offering a holistic approach to early learning enrichment, the Swot Shop Springboard Program sets students up for success in school and beyond. The program aims to:

• Boost literary and language skills.
• Improve mathematical reasoning and problem-solving abilities.
• Strengthen cognitive abilities in logic, strategy, memory and visual perception.
• Cultivate a love for learning and investigation.
• Aid in building self-assurance, self-worth and a positive outlook towards education.
• Supplement educational programs in schools.

Teaching techniques include instruction, discussion, discovery and co-operative problem-solving in a small group setting. Our experienced teachers make extensive use of hands-on materials, and many activities are presented as puzzles and games to make learning fun and engaging for the youngest learners.
