Milai School’s Primary section (Grades 1 to 6) provides a thoughtful, supportive space where learners build a strong academic foundation while developing responsibility, creativity, and self-confidence. Through the Competency-Based Education (CBE) system, our students grow into engaged learners who ask questions, work together, and enjoy learning. Each lesson is guided by clear goals and enriched with real-world connections.
In the primary years, learners move beyond the basics and begin to explore more structured subjects with deeper curiosity. At Milai, we teach not just to cover content but to make sure students understand and apply what they’ve learned. Every child is supported to work at their level while being challenged to grow in confidence and thinking.
