In the first stage, students are introduced to key learning skills developed through a hands-on and experiential approach. The community at MLKIS work hand-in-hand to nurture and guide each student to grow into their full potential in their own capacity. They are provided with multiple opportunities to learn in an environment conducive to learning. MLKIS exposes the students to a broad range of subjects that equips them with skills and knowledge in a vigorous and fun-filled cross-curricular approach such as English Literacy, Numeracy, Science, PSHE, Music, Art, Physical Education and Modern Foreign Language (MFL). This furnishes students with the confidence and strong foundation needed to move confidently to the next level (Key Stage 2). Speech and communication is essential for the holistic development of students. Thus, Malay and Mandarin are introduced to help each child learn two of the widely used languages in the country, giving them insights into the local culture as well as the ability to converse in the language.
