Our Pathways curriculum supports young learners in math, literacy, cognitive, social-emotional, physical, and language development. In our fully immersive English classrooms, children engage in meaningful interactions to develop essential skills.
We emphasize social-emotional regulation. Teachers help children recognize and label their emotions, teaching self-regulation techniques. This helps them empathize and resolve conflicts better.
In Pathways, children are empowered to lead their own learning through group projects and team-building activities. They learn to communicate, share ideas, and work together, building confidence and decision-making skills.
Educators observe and engage with each child to understand their strengths and interests. At ANS, students receive early exposure to various fields such as athletics, art, music, robotics, and leadership, tailoring experiences to support individual growth.
Pathways teachers are trained, accredited, and licensed to create a nurturing environment where children feel safe and confident to explore. Our educators use the latest educational practices and innovative teaching strategies to engage and inspire students.
At ANS, early childhood education goes beyond learning; it’s about building strong relationships and community ties. With over 4,500 alumni from 48 countries, our students join a diverse, globally connected network.
