Curriculum
Introducing Project Work and Learning Centers among the main activities here.
Project Work provides a high-level of inquiry-based learning.
Features of CGK Afterschool
CGK Afterschool program is based on “active learning”.
Instead of sitting at a desk all day, the children will learn how to think, research and realize what they want and need to learn, based on a variety of different themes.
Nurturing a child’s curiosity to learn more will become a valuable asset throughout their lifetime.
The possibilities are endless for a child who has mastered the skill of finding out what they want to know.
We have created the best environment to nurture these Global Kids.
Project Work
The children form teams and work on projects together.
Every week we set up a project based on one of the five themes of Art, Job Training, Social Studies, Science and Students Choice, working towards the driving question and the goal of the project.
By playing games that spark interest, looking up things they don’t understand, thinking as a team and looking for solutions, children will acquire true English proficiency that includes reading, writing, listening and speaking skills.
We don’t simply study English, we are creating the best environment to learn in English.

This time helps children develop their own independence.
The children make all the decisions regarding what they want to do, who they’ll do it with and for how long.
The teacher is only there for support.
“Making Decisions by Themselves” = Self-Determination
We value the importance of knowing oneself, increasing self-esteem and living life being true to oneself.
These qualities are essential for children to learn and grow.
