For Primary 5–6 Students

As the Going Gets Tougher, Champions Get Going

The upper primary years are key to the realisation of children’s future potential. How they fare in the demanding environments of secondary and tertiary studies will very much depend on the study and learning habits they acquire during this crucial period between childhood and young adulthood. Stairway 2 Championship® is a program developed by MindChamps to help students rise to the challenges ahead.
 

Out with the conventional

The old ways of teaching and learning don’t cut it anymore. Merely memorising information is ultimately pointless – especially in view of the fact that the Internet effectively warehouses all the knowledge of the universe, free for all to access on demand. What the world needs now is Active Understanding.
 

Active Understanding

MindChamps’ Stairway 2 Championship® program teaches skills for Active Learning and Active Understanding. Using insights discovered by the Centre for the Mind, University of Sydney and other world leaders in neuroscience, it leads the intellect and the imagination on a journey of discovery and experiential learning. Students learn to love not just learning, but the joyous journey towards understanding like a series of eminently satisfying ‘lightbulb moments’!
 

Towards the Champion Mindset

Incorporating discoveries and insights from Emeritus Professor Allan Snyder’s groundbreaking research into the brain and its workings at the Centre for the Mind, Stairway 2 Championship® promises 23 valuable learning outcomes for its students. Together they make up the Champion Mindset® that will see them through not just the PSLE, but through all the tests that life will throw at them.
