Our Curriculum
After-school Programmes
Thrive After-school Sanctuary provides a premium after-school programme that empowers children to flourish by offering a transformative, holistic, and inspiring learning experience. Through a unique blend of programmes, experienced educators, a nurturing environment, and the integration of the Julia Gabriel EduDrama® philosophy, Thrive After-school Sanctuary promises to support children’s well-rounded development, foster their confidence and creativity, and equip them with the skills and mindset needed to succeed, and thrive, in life.
Children are guided to complete their school homework and spelling tasks, enjoy healthy and nutritious catered meals and meaningful interactions with their peers during times of rest and relaxation.
Enrichment after-school learning programmes are conducted daily, where children participate in the Julia Gabriel Speech Communication Arts, Julia Gabriel Think N’Ink, and Chengzhu Mandarin Language Skills programmes to hone their English and Mandarin oral and written language skills. Students are further supported in their learning of mathematics with a curriculum which is conducted under licence from Acer Academy Pte Ltd. Once a week, students also engage in a sports and movement programme curated by KIDSmoov Singapore which focuses on their physical development.
For parents seeking high-quality after-school care in Singapore, Thrive After-school Sanctuary stands out as a premier choice. Our commitment to delivering a transformative and supportive learning environment ensures that every child has the opportunity to thrive and achieve their fullest potential.
Mindfulness-Infused Curriculum: Thrive Mindful Moments
As part of the Thrive programme, children engage in daily Mindful Moments activities to nurture their social-emotional competencies.
The Thrive Mindful Moments curriculum is accessible to individuals from diverse backgrounds and aims to develop a strong positive self-image in students based on a growth mindset and an awareness of their individual strengths. Through developing values such as respect, resilience, responsibility, integrity, harmony, and care, children learn to exercise empathy, appreciate and care for others and their environment, work in teams, share ideas, respect different opinions, and engage in positive communication.
Over the course of the year, students focus on building a positive self-image, developing self-awareness, growing a positive mindset and social awareness. With regular practice, children grow into thoughtful and resilient students who have internalised strategies to help them manage feelings and emotions, challenges and setbacks.
At Thrive After-school Sanctuary, we believe that effective after-school programmes should encompass not just academic and physical development, but also social-emotional growth. A commitment to integrating mindfulness and emotional intelligence into our curriculum ensures that children are not only prepared to excel academically but also equipped with the tools to thrive in all aspects of their lives.
