Primary School — ages 6 to 10

Primary school at SSELC is the foundation: children consolidate the English they began in preschool, build their first written work in three languages, and start the Pearson curriculum — a UK-derived international system recognised by top universities worldwide.

Our certified teachers run small, attentive classes where every child is known by name. Project-based science work, daily reading, structured mathematics, and weekly creative time form the rhythm of a SSELC primary year.

What primary years look like

Pearson curriculum

A UK-derived primary programme aligned with international standards — recognised globally.

Project-based science

Hands-on projects like our Grade 3 Solar System work — children learn by building, not just reading.

Daily English immersion

English is the medium of instruction across most subjects, reinforced through daily speaking time.

Mandarin starts here

Structured Mandarin lessons begin in primary — the third language alongside Myanmar and English.

Certified teachers

Every primary class is led by a qualified, trained teacher who knows the Pearson curriculum.

Creative & physical time

Art, music and sports balanced with academics — primary is when children discover what they love.

Pearson is a UK-derived international curriculum aligned with global education standards. Our students earn an education recognised by leading universities in the UK, US, Canada, Australia and across Asia — without leaving Muse.
