CAMBRIDGE @ MACPHERSON

At Cambridge, we believe that each child is unique with his or her talents. Some children are good with language, others with numbers, music or art. There are also children who are good with people skills. In this competitive world, we nurture your child’s unique talents to give him or her, a competitive edge, especially in the future world. Besides, knowing that he or she is good in something is a great confidence booster and being confident will benefit other areas of life.

To develop your child’s unique talents, Cambridge ensures that varied activities conducted during the day exercise these eight intelligences and strengthens your child’s dominant intelligences whilst enhancing his/her less-dominant ones to awaken them.

Cultivate Future Skills Through iSTEAM

The robots have arrived and are here to stay. Your mobile phone is a robot, albeit without arms and legs, and it is getting smarter every year. Within a decade, robots and artificial intelligence (AI) will be taking over and eliminating many jobs.

At Cambridge, we recognise the need to envisage the future world that your child will live and work in. We would not know what specific skills would be needed for future jobs that do not exist in this day and age but we can prepare your child by equipping him/her with uniquely human skills that are not easily replaceable by robots, such as the ability to innovate, problem-solve and think creatively and critically.

Our brand-new state-of-the-art curriculum exposes your child to iSTEAM (Innovation, Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) and has been designed to develop these essential future skills in fun and age-appropriate ways to prepare him/her for future success.

iSTEAM embraces the philosophy of “thinking with hands”, and consists of hands-on inquiry and open-ended exploration of interesting topics which will prepare your child for the future.

Develop Academic Skills

Our curriculum covers the fundamental literacy skills of reading, writing and Mathematics. Building a solid foundation for your child in these areas is critical to his/her future academic success.

Our English Language and Literacy curriculum goes beyond teaching children how to read and write. Our literacy-rich environment provides children with experiences to integrate listening, speaking, reading and writing into their everyday activities. Children have many opportunities to enjoy books, build vocabulary, articulate their thoughts in front of an audience, and practise creative writing. These additional skills build up your child’s confidence and enable your child to be lifelong readers, writers and communicators.

Bilingualism is a cornerstone of the education system and the way of life in Singapore. A strong Chinese language foundation is important for your child to be bilingual as studies have shown that English has become the language most spoken at home. Children who grow up bilingual are better able to seize opportunities in economic powerhouses such as China in the future.

Our Chinese language and literacy curriculum develops each child’s Chinese language skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing. It is also important that our children enjoy the language, develop confidence in using it and cultivate an appreciation of Chinese culture.

Our Mathematics curriculum offers learning experiences in Mathematics skills and reasoning with many opportunities to grasp Mathematical concepts. Our curriculum includes counting, measurement, comparing using number and word symbols, identifying and creating patterns, and familiarity with Mathematical language, money, and time. All these are hands-on experiences that enable your child to explore Mathematical concepts in a meaningful way.

At Cambridge Pre-schools, learning goes beyond the classroom. Knowledge comes to life when your child engages in a variety of real-life experiences, through adventure-filled field trips that are aligned with our curriculum. Your child would be able to connect classroom lessons with real world happenings. When that connectivity is made, a bulb lits up and the world suddenly makes more sense!
