Inspiring Confident Communication:

The Julia Gabriel Approach

image 13

With decades of experience in empowering students to reach their full potential at our English and Mandarin enrichment centres, and our renowned Julia Gabriel Preschool (formerly known as Chiltern House), we are delighted to introduce you to Thrive After-school Sanctuary. Specialist educators, passionate about facilitating children’s academic and holistic development in positive and creative ways, deliver Thrive activities through our unique EduDrama® methodology.

The EduDrama® approach motivates children to relish the learning process, engaging them in highly enjoyable activities conducted within a safe, nurturing and enabling environment. Our skilled educators are trained to recognise each child’s learning style and focus on their strengths. As children progress and have opportunities to make connections between what they know and new experiences, they learn to make sense of new information. This empowering approach to education recognises children as active participants and co-creators of their learning journey. Over time, as children practise, reinforce, and assimilate their learning, they hone their cognitive, emotional, mental and social skills, acquiring vital life skills along the way.

Is Your Child Truly Thriving After School?

New-Image-2

Each moment after the school bell rings holds infinite potential. During these precious after-school hours, your child has an opportunity to maximise, achieving academic goals, while gaining deeper insights into their uniqueness as individuals, their values, their strengths, and how they can make a positive community impact.

Imagine a world where your Primary 1 to 6 child is guided by caring educators who understand their individual strengths and challenges, empowering them to approach homework with clarity and confidence after school.

At Thrive After-school Sanctuary, children receive support with their schoolwork and learn how to manage tasks such as spelling and revision with growing independence. They engage in carefully curated enrichment programmes spanning communication, language and literacy, Mathematics, sports and movements, to support holistic development.

Are you ready to join the Thrive family and watch your child evolve into a confident, creative, compassionate trailblazer?

Hear What Our Parents Have To Say

Just wanted to share some feedback from Jai's school teacher. She has seen a great improvement and effort he has put in in his maths and has told him to keep it up.

Wanted to share and say a big thank you to Teacher Bambi and Teacher Masita for the good work and encouragement that they are giving him. Thanks to the whole team at Thrive! Keep up the good work.

MAAN, MOTHER OF JAI SINGH

I signed my son up the moment I learned that Thrive is under the umbrella of Julia Gabriel / Chengzhu / Chiltern House group. He has joined Thrive since July and I can see that he has grown and matured a lot.

The centre provides a complete after school program that covers every area of their needs, not just academically.

The environment is very clean, very systematic and yet always open for suggestion, most importantly the teachers and facilitators are very experienced, patience and with rich knowledge and resources to help each and every child to grow and thrive !

Special thanks to Masita, Bambi, Zara, Zhao Laoshi, William, Cheryl, Edmund and Anna. Everyone of them play a big part in making this after school care centre a great place for the children to learn and enjoy their time there!

SARAH PHUA, MOTHER OF IAN DAVID LIM

My son has attended the student care for weeks! I can see that he likes the place very well where the staff is very warmth, patience and attentive! I am so happy to see him happy every time when I picked him up from the student care.

The staff is also very professional, they attend to our concerns and queries promptly.
