It is our belief that all students deserve a quality care, education and should have equal access to all learning opportunities. Our school has a tradition in providing a safe and welcoming wide array of exciting activities in a challenging academic environment.

Our extensive menu of extracurricular activities, both academic and recreational is unsurpassed. Our entire team is committed to establishing a school environment that allows our students to flourish and to grow intellectually, emotionally, and socially. We work together toward the success of all the students providing them a basis for lifelong learning.

To help keep open communication families are informed about all the good things happening at our school through a monthly newsletter. It contains school events, parent participation activities, updates on school happenings, and much more. To keep you updated on classroom activities and daily lessons we use the Tadpoles App to sent a digital daily report. We encourage families to participate in school activities on special occasions as well as volunteer in student’s classroom as schedule allows. Together with our families we form a strong partnership to ensure that all students receive an exceptional education.

Thank you for exploring our website and I welcome you to visit our school – allow us to take you on a journey to discover us in action.

Our team

Learning Ladders was founded in 2011 by Swati due to her vision as a parent to foster an environment for students’ all rounded development. Understanding that the value of education to students is the foundation of opportunity, civil life and success she decided to start an institution where there is emphasis on uniqueness of each student, their sense of wonder and commitment to young minds. This is a program where students laugh, learn, explore and grow into well rounded individuals.
