1st Grade (6-7 years old)
The first steps towards reading, writing… and much more!
About Us
The 1st Grade program marks the entry into elementary schooling and lays the essential foundations for learning. At Flos Learning Partner, we support each child in this decisive transition through structured and caring instruction. Reading, writing, mathematics, world exploration, and artistic expression are approached progressively, interactively, and adapted to individual needs. Our goal: to develop curiosity, self-confidence, and a love of learning from the very first steps in the school of “constructed knowledge.”
