Curriculum
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.
