EtonHouse Dongguan is a well established pre-school and primary school from Singapore that exemplifies excellence in education for children 2 years old through to Year 6 (11 years old).

It is a multi-cultural school where English is the main language of instruction, and Mandarin lessons are also provided. Classes have both English and Chinese speaking teachers, and there are specialist teachers for Mandarin, Music and Physical Education.

Through early exposure to diverse cultures, children become more open-minded and confident, and at EtonHouse we aim to create a happy, secure and caring learning environment. We ensure that all children are valued equally and taught to relate to one another and the environment in a caring way.

We believe that children need to develop as effective speakers, listeners, readers, writers and mathematicians, and EtonHouse has a strong emphasis on Communication, Language and Literacy (English) and Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy (Mathematics). We also believe in a child-centred approach where teaching and learning are joyful experiences, and our broad and balanced curriculum in the inquiry area supports individual needs and allows children to maximise their full potential.

Children learn through specific teaching and learning experiences along with authentic and practical activities. Our qualified teachers encourage them to plan, negotiate and develop a critical appreciation of their work.

At EtonHouse, Dongguan the children are supported in reaching their full potential through the development of specific skills and a broad range of learning experiences.

Our Early Years’ Programme focuses on:

• Each child’s individual development – motor skills, language skills, thinking skills, social and emotional development, and intellectual development.
• Each child’s growth as a skilful communicator.
• Each child’s successes as a competent learner.
• Teaching practices that support these focus areas.

Our Primary Years’ Programme focuses on:

• Each child being a creative, energetic, enterprising and effective inquirer.
• Each child being a confident, connected and involved lifelong learner.
• Each child experiencing success through a structured, text-based learning programme with regular progress checkpoints.
• Teaching practices that focus on outcomes, are based on high expectations, encourage reflective thought and action, and utilize quality ICT to support learning.
