After-school hours are precious, but for many parents in Singapore, the question remains: how can children spend this time productively, growing academically and personally?

At Thrive After-School Sanctuary, children between Primary 1 and 6 are given more than just a safe space to unwind—they experience a comprehensive, nurturing environment that combines academic support, creative enrichment, mindfulness, and physical well-being.

A Sanctuary for Every Child’s Potential

Thrive is designed as a sanctuary for young minds to flourish. Beyond homework help, Thrive offers a balanced programme that cultivates not only academic success but also social-emotional skills, resilience, and creativity.

EduDrama®, the unique methodology developed by Julia Gabriel Education, is central to Thrive’s approach. It integrates drama, storytelling, and role play to make learning an interactive and fun experience.

Through EduDrama®, children explore and express their thoughts, building communication skills and critical thinking. Whether retelling stories, engaging in group discussions, or creating imaginative scenarios, children develop essential life skills that set them up for success both in school and in life.

Enrichment Programmes Tailored for Holistic Growth

Thrive’s diverse enrichment offerings make it stand out. Drawing from the Julia Gabriel Centre and Chengzhu Mandarin Centre curricula, Thrive helps children expand their language skills and build their academic confidence.

Best of all, these enrichment programmes are included within the fees that you pay. This valuable combination strengthens language growth and builds academic confidence, giving families far more than what they typically receive elsewhere.

The Julia Gabriel Centre Speech Communication Arts programme enhances public speaking and presentation skills, while Think N’ Ink sparks creativity in writing. Children also gain a strong foundation in Mandarin through Chengzhu Mandarin Centre’s dynamic language lessons, and develop critical thinking with maths enrichment classes.

Beyond academics, Thrive integrates sports and movement programmes to promote physical fitness, teamwork, and resilience. These activities not only keep children physically active but also reinforce values such as discipline, cooperation, and confidence.

Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence

At Thrive, personal development goes hand in hand with academic excellence. Through the Mindful Moments programme, children learn emotional intelligence, empathy, and resilience. By integrating mindfulness into their daily routines, children learn to manage stress, improve their focus, and navigate challenges with a positive mindset.

Practical Care for Busy Families

Thrive provides essential after-school care services that make it an ideal choice for busy families. In addition to comprehensive academic and enrichment activities, Thrive ensures children have time for rest and relaxation.

With daily homework supervision, children receive guidance on completing school assignments while developing independence and time-management skills. Nutritious meals are also provided, giving students the energy they need for the afternoon ahead.

Safe, Nurturing Environment

The name “Sanctuary” speaks to the warm, welcoming atmosphere at Thrive’s centres, located conveniently near major schools in East Coast, New Bahru, and Rochester Mall. A new Thomson centre is also set to open in January 2026, offering even more families a supportive space for after-school learning!

These child-friendly spaces offer secure, inspiring environments where children can relax, play, and learn. Thrive’s small teacher-to-student ratio (18 children per class) ensures that each child receives individualised attention, enabling them to progress at their own pace.

Educators Who Inspire and Empower

What sets Thrive apart is its team of dedicated, bilingual educators. All staff members are trained in EduDrama® and selected for their ability to foster meaningful relationships with children.

Thrive educators go beyond simply teaching—they are mentors and role models, guiding students with patience, warmth, and enthusiasm. This creates a culture where children feel valued, supported, and empowered to express themselves and grow.
