At St John's Pre-Preparatory, we provide a creative and stimulating learning environment with a strong sense of purpose, where the individual needs of each boy are nurtured. We aim to equip every boy with the cognitive, physical, emotional, and social skills necessary for a happy and confident start to his school career. Each day follows a familiar pattern of work and play, ensuring the boys feel secure while their individual strengths are nurtured.
Boys enter Grade 0 at the beginning of the year when they turn six, where the curriculum is broad and varied. As they progress into Grades 1 and 2, the curriculum becomes more structured, and the learning environment shifts to a more formal setting. After three years, the boys are ready for the next step in their academic journey as they transition to the Preparatory School.
