I always love the first day of school better than the last day of school. The firsts are the best because they are beginnings. The first day of school is the first day of life, as well. “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken adults.” Frederick Douglas perhaps understood the value and relevance of early childhood education. Early childhood education is focused on the critical developmental milestones, skills, and concepts that children attain during this period of their lives, from social-emotional skills to the beginnings of numeracy, literacy, and critical thinking.
Our pre-primary team provide a caring environment where children, from age two, are able to learn together through a careful balance of structured play and more formal activities. Facilities are available for children to learn and play both indoors and outdoors.
Dear Yangon Elementary School Parents,
On behalf of the staff of Yangon Elementary School, it is my distinct pleasure to Welcome You to 2022-2023 School Year! We assure you that we will implement the vision, mission and set goals of the school where all students will receive a world class education.
The Yangon Academy Elementary School includes Kindergarten to grade five. Applicants must be the specified age for each grade by 1 September. The majority of our elementary students first successfully attended our Early Childhood Center program. From its beginning 13 years ago the school’s purpose has been to provide the very best English language education possible using an U.S.-based curriculum at a lower tuition than the few international schools of that time period.
