Empowering Your Child In English: The British Council Advantage

What do you imagine when you think about your child’s future?

Is it filled with curiosity, confidence, and creativity? Are they navigating the challenges of a fast-changing world with ease, equipped with the skills needed to thrive globally?

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has identified several skills crucial for future success, such as Creative Thinking, Curiosity and Lifelong Learning, and Leadership and Social Influence. Creative Thinking has also been identified as an important competency by the Ministry of Education that helps prepare young people for a rapidly evolving world, with Singapore coming out top in creative thinking in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2022 as well.

At the British Council, we believe that the future isn’t just about ticking academic boxes – it’s about nurturing well-rounded individuals empowered to flourish in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) future.

That’s where our Young Learner English Enrichment Classes come in, as our invitation for your child to embark on a journey in cultivating the essential language and life skills to be future-ready.

The British Council Advantage – Empowering Your Child in English

What sets the British Council apart? It’s not just our globally recognised name or the fact that we’ve been shaping learners for 90 years. It’s our philosophy. We see each child as a budding thinker, creator, and problem-solver.

Our classes are delivered in two convenient locations in Singapore – Napier Road and Toa Payoh – but the learning stretches far beyond the classroom walls. Your child won’t just learn English; they’ll learn how to think in English.

Here’s why our Young Learner English Enrichment Courses offer something different – and why we’re so confident they can empower your child for a global future.

1. Creative Thinking at the Core

Rote learning kills creativity. That’s why our courses are packed with activities that spark creative thinking, pushing your child to explore language in imaginative ways. From writing their own stories to engaging in role-play and problem-solving tasks, they’ll be challenged to use English not just functionally but expressively.

Through project-based learning, children gain hands-on experience in applying their knowledge creatively, building solutions, and collaborating with peers. We nurture confident English speakers who are innovative thinkers with strong social skills, ready to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

“My son’s confidence has grown in communicating with peers using extended English sentences, and he has begun using the correct English tenses when speaking. I am pleased with the teacher who offers feedback to parents about areas in which their child needs improvement.” – Than Htike Aung, parent of Tydus, Kindergarten 1

2. Curiosity – A Key to Lifelong Learning

The world is changing, and so are the skills that matter. The British Council’s teaching method taps into your child’s natural curiosity, encouraging them to ask questions, think critically, and seek multiple answers and viewpoints. We create an environment where learning is fun, dynamic, and, above all, driven by the students themselves.

“The British Council’s classroom environment promotes relaxed interactions, which, in turn, enhances my English learning experience.” – Emily, Secondary 4

Our classes are aligned with Singapore’s Ministry of Education (MOE) syllabus, but with an important element: a global outlook. Our educators go beyond the textbook, introducing your child to new perspectives and encouraging them to think about the world in different ways. This helps them see English not just as a subject, but as a tool for exploring the future they wish to create – one that opens doors to new cultures, ideas, and opportunities.

We encourage lifelong learning, building the habits and mindset that will see your child through the rest of their academic and professional life. Whether they’re in Nursery 1 or Secondary, our courses grow with them, teaching resilience, self-awareness and a penchant for analytical thinking – the very skills that WEF also highlights as essential for future generations.

3. Leadership and Social Influence

Every child is unique, and our interactive approach reflects this. Our expert teachers partner with you to support your child’s learning every step of the way, ensuring they grow in confidence as well as competence to lead.

By focusing on communication skills, we help children express themselves confidently in English – whether they’re working on a school project, talking to their peers, or preparing for future international opportunities. Our classes are designed to unlock your child’s potential, ensuring that they not only perform well in exams but are also ready to speak up and make their influence felt in any situation.

“The British Council has empowered me to effectively express my thoughts, resulting in various benefits. This newfound ability has improved my performance in interviews, enhanced my oral and listening comprehension skills, and elevated my overall comprehension skills.

Additionally, the practical skills taught by the British Council has enabled me to work more efficiently, accomplishing tasks in a shorter time frame. It has also expanded my social circle and honed my interpersonal skills, positioning me for success in any future job I pursue.” – Benedict, Secondary 4
