Our Five Pillars
Star Academy’s Five Pillars of Child Development are the embodiment of our commitment to holistic education.
Our low student-teacher ratio ensures that everyone develops to their full potential.
Academic
…By posing questions and solving problems, students learn to grasp the complexities of our world…
Global
…Global development is our commitment to help students gain awareness of the world around them…
Social
…Social development takes place in the classroom, the lunchroom, in our hallways and on the playground….
Physical
…We believe in a purposeful physical education programme to instill the value of an active and healthy lifestyle…
Emotional
…Emotional development begins by helping children cultivate self-confidence and a positive self-image…
The Essentials
Small class sizes
Small class sizes are an integral part of our learning environment. Class sizes vary, on average up to 16 students in each homeroom. Groupings of students vary based upon activities and learning needs, always with attention to optimizing the learning experience.
Learn to Love to Learn™
Teacher attention, engaging activities, cross-curricular, multi-disciplinary, project-based learning? Our students become active and engaged learners, a part of the process, and with flexible learning environments they feel comfortable and confident.

Parent Testimonials
“I can’t imagine any better school for our son – he thrived with the talented teachers, the small class sizes, the individual learning and the caring school environment. Our son was given the opportunity to grow, mature and learn in a safe environment. Star Academy took the time to understand our son and to teach him from a place where he could learn – which is what makes Star so special.”
“The growth we have seen in our son – both academically and socially – since coming to Star Academy has been phenomenal. As parents, we love sending him to school every day knowing he is being nurtured and engaged by everyone at the school, not just his teachers. Every kid is recognized for their individual strengths and learn from real life situations and being prepared for the future.”
“Our daughter has gone from an anxious child unsure how to navigate school to a confident girl who is eager to learn. Star Academy is providing a safe supportive environment where she is able to thrive and develop in all areas. We are thrilled to have found such a wonderful school.”
