Is there any homework to be done at home?
Students are required to complete homework (which would be kept to a minimal). We believe in learning through discussion and explanation. Thus most of the the lesson time would be allocated to discussion in class where students are able to clarify their doubts with the tutor. Homework helps the students to apply new knowledge learn, review, revise and reinforce newly acquired skills,<back to top>
Are parents required to do homework with the student at home? Why?
Parents are encouraged to accompany their child, especially the younger ones, while doing homework. However, all work should be done by the student him/herself.

Once a week lesson at the Centre is definitely not enough to bring out the maximum potential of the students.<back to top>
