5 After-School Classes in Singapore to Discover Your Child’s Potential

There are a plethora of post-school enrichment classes for children in Singapore. When and where to expose your child to positive stimuli is up to you, and it has to be a well-informed choice. Here are some after-school classes that are sure to give your child an edge over the others.

1. Molly Manners – for children between 3-16 years

As the name suggests, this class is about helping your child learn good manners, social skills, and etiquette. No, we are not talking about grooming classes that spew forth precocious little wonders; this is more of a lesson in being well mannered, nice, and kind. Your children will be in the hands of teachers who have managed children for years and are trained in child psychology and motivation. There are specialised etiquette classes like training in dining etiquette as well. Molly Manners takes its classes to after-school programs as well as holds programs in areas close to you.

2. Singapore Kid’s Yoga – for children aged 3-13 years

Just what today’s stressed out generation with huge achievement goals needs – a yoga class with no structure or curriculum. This class at OhmSantih Yoga works on the child’s physical as well as psychological skills – in the absence of competition. Breathing exercises help kids de-stress and various yoga poses help in increasing the body’s flexibility and strength; both of which lead to higher self-esteem and relaxation. Different age groups of children are assigned different classes, and not more than 6 students make up one class. The pricing for a mass class of 10 lessons is S$360 while a private 1-1 course of the same duration will cost you S$700. Address: 50 Bussorah St, Singapore 199466

3. Seriously Addictive Mathematics – for children aged 4-12 years

Mathematics has been many a child wonder’s fear and S.A.M. aims at working on exactly this paranoia. Since children often find the concept of numbers difficult to grasp, this class hopes to inculcate a positive learning attitude along with an understanding of the foundations of the subject in a way that appeals to kids. The course is comprehensive, allows the child to work at an individual pace, avoids learning by rote, and is based entirely on Singapore math – eventually helping the child to get better grades in school. Address: S.A.M. has 9 locations across Singapore

4. Beginner’s Scratch Programming at Saturday Kids – for children aged 7-12 years

While some of us believe in de-stressing kids at yoga classes, there are others who believe why wait when you can do it now? Saturday Kids is the perfect place for kids who have the aptitude to build websites, games, robots, animations and applications. Beginners are taught programming and coding in a kid friendly language called Scratch. There are intermediate and advanced courses for Scratch programming as well. The Beginner’s Scratch Programming course will cost you S$350 for 10 hours over weekends.

5. Singing class at Aureus Academy – for children over 4 years

The Aureus Academy is more of a full-scale music school. Children can join and learn to play various instruments like the violin, piano, guitar, or take vocal lessons.
