PARENT TESTIMONIAL
Using the English Curriculum as foundation, we bring in the best practices from Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and Forest School to promote a holistic development. We have beautifully designed environments and highly trained, loving educators, to provide an engaging and playful start to education.
Hypha has a whole-child approach to education that supports children’s rights to play, to be in nature, to be nurtured, to pursue their own interests, and to be collaborators of their own learning
Hypha ensures an outstanding educational experience by hiring excellent educators and ensuring that students receive a high-quality education that is transferable and internationally respected. Our innovative approach ensures structure, continuity, a nurturing environment, and personalized learning tailored to each child. We convey confidence in our students and hold the expectation that each one of them can reach their greatest potential.
Our students spend, on average, 3 hours a day exploring, learning, and connecting with the wonders of nature. Many researchers agree that children who spend time outdoors are happier, better at paying attention and less anxious than kids who spend more time indoors. By deepening their understanding and appreciation of the natural world, these children often also develop a profound sense of environmental responsibility and stewardship.
