“My child just started Grade 1, but every day feels stressful with endless homework. They don’t even want to go to school.”
“It takes so much effort to get my child to sit at the desk. Every study session at home feels like a battlefield—my child in tears, and I am constantly reminding myself: stay calm, don’t lose patience.”
These are the heartfelt worries of many parents when their children enter Grade 1—a stage that should be filled with excitement but too often turns into a source of anxiety for both parents and kids.
At The Dewey Schools, we believe Grade 1 should mark the beginning of a joyful learning journey—not a time of fear or tears. Here, children discover the joy of learning, develop a genuine love for school, and take the lead in exploring the world around them.
Choose Dewey—choose a happy beginning for your child’s Grade 1 journey.
Turning learning into an exciting adventure: literature through drama and poetry, math through drawing and models, science through real-life experiments, and English through games, stories, and songs—all designed to spark curiosity and foster active learning.
Confident and proactive learners: Children practice communication, collaboration, independence, self-care, and effective time management.
Holistic development of mind–body–soul–creativity: From football, swimming, and yoga to music, painting, and drama, children are nurtured physically, emotionally, intellectually, and artistically.
Every Grade 1 student is like a tiny, fragile seed. No two seeds bloom on the same schedule. Our mission is not to rush growth, but to create the fertile soil for each child to thrive. Parents, childhood cannot be rewound. Let your child live at their own pace, learn according to their ability, and grow in their own rhythm. Because the greatest gift a school and family can give is not just grades or achievements—but a curious mind, an independent spirit, and a loving heart.
