Welcome to Scholars Point Academy (SPA). We are glad you are here. If you are visiting our site, we assume that you or a loved one has children who need care.
Brain development takes place in the early years of a child. SPA is a one-of-a-kind facility in Kwabenya, across Regimanuel Estate (Balloon Gate) that recognizes this fact and offers a unique environment that seeks to enhance the intellectual and social development of your child. The School offers programmes for children from 6 months (infants) to five years (kindergarten). We also provide “after-school” childminding service. Our amazing team of teachers helps children develop their social, cognitive, fine/gross motor, creative and language skills.
The SPA curriculum is a blend of Reggio Emilia Approach and the Ghanaian curriculum for the early years. The Reggio Emilia approach child development takes its name from an affluent city in northern Italy and was started by Loris Malaguzzi and the parents of the villages around Reggio Emilia after World War II. The approach is similar to the Montessori model but there are significant differences that fit well with the Ghanaian setting. Reggio Emilia is based on the principle of respect, exploration and discovery that takes into account the specific interests of the child.
The project also takes a child-led project approach, it is not planned in advance, but they emerge based on the child’s interest. The programme encourages children to explore through self-guided play, encouraging them to use their senses by asking questions, testing theories, making plans and thinking about their activities, at their own pace. Observation is a key factor in Reggio curriculum planning. Activities in the programme attend to the cognitive, social, emotional and physical development of the child. The curriculum takes into account the special needs of the child and allows for the active participation of parents and the broader community.
At Scholars Point, your child’s safety and well-being is our number one priority. We provide a safe and nurturing environment to support your child’s growth. SPA is a home away from home The School is open all year round, and closed only on statutory holidays.
