Our School
At GnoKids, we do team-teaching. Each class will have two teachers who are equally responsible for the success of the lesson. Having two teachers creates a fun atmosphere for the teachers as well as the students, and it provides the students with ample amounts of natural English exposure.

We use Project-Based Learning to teach a goal-oriented curriculum to our students. Our classes are very hands-on and we strongly believe in ‘learning through doing’. We have small class sizes (1:5 Teacher to student ratio) to maximize the interaction students can have with the teachers.

Part-Time positions also available. Please contact us for more information.
