Our Approach
At GA Genuine Academy, we embrace a child-centered, inquiry-based learning approach, integrating Reggio Emilia principles and ORDA's holistic model.
We foster creativity, curiosity, and collaboration through child-led exploration and hands-on experiences. Our environment acts as a "third teacher," encouraging independent thinking and meaningful interactions.
By blending Reggio Emilia-inspired learning with ORDA's holistic development, we nurture both academic growth and social-emotional development, equipping children with the confidence to thrive.
