The Julia Gabriel Approach

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?

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.
