Programme Overview

Curion Mastery, P5
Programme Goals
P5 is when the PSLE runway begins. Students who solidify their foundations now will avoid lots of stress and chaos in P6. Not only do P5 students have to prepare for the upcoming PSLE, they also have to juggle learning new challenging content. 

We help our students by breaking all the required PSLE skills down to digestible, modular bits. Instead of simply drilling full papers, we isolate and strengthen individual skills. When we isolate skills in this way, we are able to track precisely which skill is causing a dip in marks, so we can fix it fast.
How do we achieve this?

Here is an example of a P5 lesson, to demonstrate how our skills-based approach helps with PSLE outcomes:
