Skills that are not left to chance

"90 Microskills" are classes built into the curriculum: every week children master three specific skills. We want to ensure that truly important life skills are mastered by every child.

From critical thinking and digital literacy to first aid, table setting, and confident public speaking — all are parts of a comprehensive character development program.

The first half of the day is academics. After lunch comes physical activity, extracurricular activities, and homework with a tutor. In the skills development block, every week brings three new microskills.
