"Welcome From The Principal"

Welcome !

Thank you for your interest in Summit International Learning Centre.
We, the Summit team and the parents, must be fully aware that Pre-school children acquire basic life skills. Positive reinforcement and clear consistent guideline provide a safe and nurturing environment for children to explore and grow. It is important to remember that each and every child is unique and they develop at their own individual pace.

Our teachers create a warm and trustworthy atmosphere where both the toddlers and the preschoolers enjoy and promote good interaction. We teach them to be considerate of others and encourage them to make new friends while processing both cognitive and emotional experiences and independence.

We firmly believe that education is a process-a step- by- step lifelong progression, while building a proper foundation for this process is our sole desire and goal. We are proud to acknowledge parent’s trust in us in training their children: to be ready to begin reading and writing in terms of English and learning the basic concepts of Mathematics, Science and adapting the fragile environment around us. In addition to these academic achievements, we also nurture them to be well brought-up children in terms of manners, behaviour and our culture.

As this is our fifth successful academic year, we strongly believe that we are ready to progress to the next step of teaching, the opening of Primary ( 1 ). Through active participation in individual, group and whole class activities, our Primary (1) students are to explore a wide range of subjects: English 1&2, Maths 1 & 2, Science, Environmental studies, Health and Personal Development and Myanmar. Besides these academic subjects, Arts and Crafts, Music, Structure Play, Spoken Mandarin and Physical Education will be included in their daily routine alternatively.

In making our school a success, we do need all three parties, School-Students-Parents, to start working with an open and continual communication, creating a comfortable yet challenging “fun & learn” environment for our Summit students.

Good luck and congratulations to our sixth academic year, especially to our Primary 1 Students,

Ms. Win May Than ( Principal )

Junior Nursery

Taking care of very young children is probably the most important job: moulding their little lives into the way they should be, training them and teaching them every day. Do you think they just learn to bounce for the “Bule Bus” song?. They learn the alphabets, rhythms, Numbers and exercise their motor skills through the medium of instruction in English. Do you think they are just playing with blocks? In reality, they are learning to add, divide, subtract, imitate, discover the laws of Physics and Geometry. Social competence is one the important issues teachers try to put their emphasison. Do you think that they were just scattering beads all over the floor? But no! They’ve been learning about patterns, design, volume and shapes. It is just amazing, what young children can learn! I think their English vocabulary have expanded a lot. The monument blocks of future academic success have been laid. It is such a joy to see them soak up all the knowledge aroung them.

Thank You

Senior Nursery

Senior Nursery went through their ABCs, colours, animals, transportation and many other important topics. They have learned to hold a pencil through pages and pages of colouring, letter writing and painting. They have heard many stories and learned to be friends. Children are the greatest psychologists. They each have their “Special companion” at school. In addition to that, they each have won an exceptional place in at least one of the teacher’s heart. They must have disclosed to you who their favourite teacher is. But what binds us all together are those victories won in the academic area. They have learned a lot, and so did we, as their innocence and the power of imagination are almost always beyond our reach.

Thank You

Pre-KG

I have observed considerable progress in all areas of learning: listening, speaking, reading and writing. All thanks to the hardworking teachers, students and parents. Train station, racing horse stables, plastic factory, milk farm! These are some of the things you probably have heard from your children about. We have had a number of animal visitors like: puppies, hamsters, kittens, rabbits and even goats which helped to reinforce their phonic skills, gain some scientific knowledge as well as touch and feel the amazing world around them. The children have learned a lot about the multicultural environment that they live in: making light festival lanterns, a Christmas tree, a Dragon for the Chinese New Year, beautiful yellow Water Festival folwers, painting Easter eggs and so on. I think we can be proud of the progress our students have made this year! I can say without a shadow of a doubt that they all are ready for KG!

Thank You

Dear parents, guardians and students!

What a year we have had! We have learned so much! Consistent Mathsinput has paid off: the children can read the instructions in their Maths books and follow, they can add, subtract, do simple multiplication and division; they solve problem and read graphs; they count dimes, nickels and pennies, count by 2,3,5,10 and backwards, tell the time and read 3-digit numbers. The students have made decent progress phonetically as well. They can read stories, all by themselves now! There are also a number of poems that children can share with the class, some are quite long. Our nature observations started with the tadpoles in the pond and ended with the goat in our garden., We have learned about the farm and Myanmar farmers – the children ended up sharing their Christmas presents with them. They have enjoyed quite a few cooking projects: making sushi, hamburgers, pizzas, Shwe In Ye, and Bolong Ye. Frequent media occasions have boosted their performing skills: “Fresh up”, MRTV4, Ovaltine, just to name a few. But what is more important after all this intense educational input? The children want to learn more! Sky is the limit, to what these children can achieve! Raising children is a joined venture: parents, caregivers, and teachers – all need to take an active part.
