We base on Montessori’s Educational Philosophies mainly to design our courses and classrooms. We incorporate
JELIC and PMI Multiple Intelligences Programme also to help children’s development at
different ages and stages.

JELIC
is a set of learning tools for children aged 3 to 6 to develop both hemispheres
of the brain. It consists of 450 learning boxes, over 3000 multiple
intelligences games. Every little step of the JELIC learning program is
carefully designed and well integrated into a complete and well-sequenced
curriculum of hands-on exercises and thinking, to stimulate and develop
children’s full potential at their own pace. This educational set is truly one
of a kind.
JELIC
has been developed by international experts, including child psychologists,
mathematicians, and Montessori educators using the multiple intelligences
concept of Howard Gardner, the child psychology theory of Jean Piaget, and the
teaching philosophy and method of Maria Montessori.
JELIC’s 6 unique
features
Hands-training: The hands are the most important learning
tool according to Maria Montessori. The uses of hands support the development of intelligence and writing
skills.
Self-motivated
learning: Education is developing children’s initiation
and confidence in learning. Teachers are seen
as navigators. Immediate but minimal guidance from teachers is offered only at
the request of students, with teachers observing closely at all times.
Development of in-depth thinking: Surprises lie in every
JELIC box. Children actively ask for knowledge and take the challenges happily.
Through JELIC, children learn to think multi-dimensionally and solve problems
creatively.
Development of
orderliness and respect: JELIC offers a quiet and orderly learning
experience. It helps to develop children’s orderliness, concentration, and self-management.
Worldwide usage: 20 classrooms in US, 10 in Canada, 100 in China, 200 in Taiwan, 30
in Singapore, 5 in Philippines, and 9 in Hong Kong.
JELIC can
be divided into 6 learning domains: Intelligent Reasoning, Mathematical deduction, Multi-dimensional thinking,
Life skills, Linguistics capabilities and Aesthetic creation.

Parent’s
response
Edward
(aged 4) had problems concentrating both in school and at home. However, he could always concentrate on his learning for an hour on his own in a JELIC
classroom. Edward’s mum was so moved by the scene that she shed some tears.
