Our Curriculum
A holistic approach to growing hearts and minds
At The White Orchid, we offer a thoughtfully balanced student care experience that nurtures your child’s academic foundation, emotional resilience, and readiness for life beyond the classroom. Our curriculum is built around two key pillars: Core and Explore.
​​
Core is designed to cultivate essential life skills, strengthen academic habits, and build self-confidence, equipping children with the tools they need to thrive. Explore offers opportunities to explore a wide array of interests. We introduce new enrichment experiences every week, giving children the chance to discover new passions.
Pillar I: Core
Adulting 101
We don't just care for children,
we prepare them for life.
Adulting 101 empowers children, one skill at a time.
​​
-
Life skills that matter: cooking, cleaning, and financial planning, done by them, not for them.
-
Routines with purpose: children manage time, take ownership, and follow through.
-
Mindset shift: they don’t wait to grow up to be responsible, they practice it daily.
At The White Orchid, children don’t wait to lead, they do it now.
​​​​
-
A peer-led model where children guide, teach, and mentor, based on skill, not age.
-
Real responsibilities from managing routines to supporting peers, with adults as facilitators, not commanders.
-
Confidence through contribution: children learn they don’t have to wait to matter, they already do.
Unshakeable Confidence
We don't just build independence,
we give children real ownership.
Academic Co-pilot
We don't just help children finish schoolwork,
we help them master it.
Academic Co-Pilot is where children support one another in learning through peer guidance, and purposeful collaboration.
​
-
Structured homework time with focused support and one-on-one help.
-
Peer teaching in action: children explain, coach, and learn through each other.
-
Deeper mastery, proven by research: the best way to learn is to teach.
Pillar II: Explore
Our Weekly Discoveries programme is designed to ignite that curiosity by exposing children to a wide variety of hands-on experiences - playful, surprising, and often unexpected.
​
-
Try new things without pressure or commitment.
-
Step beyond comfort zones in playful ways.
-
Explore unexpected interests.
