Education at Andrews: International Cambridge Accreditation & AEE Approach

At Andrews Preparatory School, we provide a private, value-based education that nurtures both academic excellence and strong character. Free from the constraints of mainstream education, we create an environment where students thrive—instilling the Christian values, integrity, and accountability that are essential for lifelong success.

As an accredited Cambridge Primary School through Andrews Academy, we offer a unique blend of Cambridge classes and daily PACEs, allowing students to advance beyond their age level and reach their full potential.

Primary School Information

At Andrews Preparatory School, we provide a structured, Christ-centered foundation where children develop academically, emotionally, and spiritually. Our approach nurtures confidence, independence, and a lifelong love for learning.

Grade RR (4 – 5 years old): Step-By-Step for Tiny Tots

Our Early Childhood Development (ECD) programme introduces young learners to essential concepts in a fun, engaging environment. Through Step-By-Step for Tiny Tots, children build a strong foundation in:

Well-being

Developing physical, emotional, and social health.

Identity & Belonging

Cultivating self-awareness and a sense of community.

Communication

Encouraging language development and expression.

Exploring Mathematics

Understanding numbers, patterns, and shapes.

Creativity

Fostering imagination through art, music, and play.

Knowledge & Understanding of the World

Learning about God’s creation and their place in it.

Grade R: ACE and Christi Reading Readiness Programme

Our Grade R curriculum prepares children for early reading and comprehension. Using the ACE and Christi Reading Readiness Programme, students engage with 12 colour PACEs in core subjects:

  • 📖 English
  • 🔢 Mathematics
  • 🌍 Social Studies
  • 🔬 Science
  • ✝️ Word Building

This program seamlessly transitions into the ABC’s Learning-to-Read curriculum, ensuring a smooth and effective start to formal education.

Grade 1: ABC’s with ACE and Christi Learning-to-Read

Our Grade 1 students begin their journey to literacy through a comprehensive phonetic reading programme. Using visual aids, interactive teaching materials, and positive reinforcement, we make learning enjoyable and effective.

Core subjects include:
(After 12 weeks, students progress to English, Science, and Social Studies while continuing Mathematics.)

We emphasise encouragement over discipline at this stage—there are no demerits or detentions in Grade R, as we believe in guiding children with patience and love.

Grades 2 – 7: Learning with Confidence

With a strong foundation in reading, students from Grade 2 onwards gain the ability to learn independently. They progress at their own pace under the careful supervision of dedicated teachers who offer individualised support.

One-on-One Assistance

Teachers answer each student’s questions privately, promoting confidence and curiosity.

Encouragement-Based Learning

Students are motivated daily to reach their full potential.

Merit & Accountability System

Good behaviour and achievements are rewarded, while demerits and detentions (from Grade 2 onwards) encourage responsibility.

Fresh Start Every Day

Just as the Lord’s mercies are new every morning, students begin each day with a clean slate.

At Andrews Preparatory School, we are committed to bringing education back to God, back to the Bible, back to basics, and back to the individual.
