Welcome to LikeScholar Kids
We want to do more than just teach English – we want to inspire a shift in how our students think and approach challenges. We foster an environment that supports self-directed learning and personal growth. We believe that true learning happens when children are given the freedom to think and grow on their own.
We help young children connect with nature, explore science, and discover the world around them. A highlight of our program is our regular outdoor activities, held twice a week. These sessions give children the chance to learn through hands-on exploration.

Our Curriculum and Programs
We believe that early English education offers numerous advantages. First, by tapping into the language acquisition sensitive period, young children are able to naturally absorb English, laying a solid foundation for future language skills. Through a variety of engaging activities, we encourage children to express their creativity and imagination, allowing them to learn in a fun and dynamic way. Additionally, learning English alongside friends from diverse backgrounds enhances cultural understanding, broadening their global perspective.
