Dear Bernard and Jenny,
Thanks for inviting me to the His Little Lighthouse facebook group. I thought it would be appropriate for us to give you an update of how Chun Meng has fared in his first year of primary school.
After four wonderful years (N1 - K2) in His Little Lighthouse, our son was enrolled in ACS (Junior). His transition to formal schooling was a smooth. On returning from his first day of school, he proudly declared that he had been appointed the Class Captain by his form teacher. He had no difficulty socialising with his schoolmates and made many new friends within a short period of time.
Academically, he fared very well. For most of the year it was pretty much a re-hash of what he had learnt in His Little Lighthouse. In both the semestral reports, he was assessed as having achieved EE (Exceeding Expectations) in all areas except for two sub-topics- one in Mother-tongue and one in PE where he was aseesed as ME (Meeting Expectations). Among other positive comments, he was described as 'Outstanding' by his form teacher in the general remarks of the report.
His performance in school was due in no small part to the four years he spent in His Little Lighthouse. He thoroughly enjoyed himself and never once displayed any reluctance about going to school during those years. This was in spite of the not insubstantial academic rigours placed on him. The quality of the academic programme at His Little Lighthouse was of such a standard that we saw no need to enrol him in any other enrichment class during the four years he was there. Even into his P1 year, there was no necessity to enrol him for any extra classes or tuition except for Chinese (we come from an English speaking environment).
Thank you for playing such an important part in Chun Meng's pre-school years,;and doing such a great job of it as well!
Sincerely
Swee Tiag and Jennifer.
