• Welcome to SmartQ. Our programme offers young children a dynamic platform to consciously activate and improve their thinking skills.

• Our programme explicitly teaches thinking as a skill that can be learnt and improved; not just a natural attribute one is born with. 

• Our activities help children expose the mechanisms of their individual thinking behaviours, and prompts them to examine areas that may require attention.

• Out of such examination children develop new thinking habits and learning principles that will help minimise or eliminate fragile or dormant thinking pathways.

• [Fragile or Dormant pathways and signals may impede performance and academic achievement, frustrating and demotivating and alienating the learner].

• Our programme helps children develop good habits of mind as a foundation for lifelong application.

As Lifelong Critical & Creative Thinkers, our children build some of the following areas of their thinking development:

1. higher order thinking,
2. multidimensional and multi-layered thinking,
3. organisational and orientational understanding,
4. analytical and synthetical skills,
5. relational and representational skills,
6. observational and behavioural skills
7. and other complex skills including syllogistical and philosophical reasoning.

These skills can support them towards higher intelligence, greater independence, and rigorous participation & engagement.

• Starting at an early age ensures children are ready for higher studies where academic excellence demands a broader spectrum of complex thinking activity.

• Children who have mastered their thinking are better at decision making, especially in making choices in life and overcoming times of stress and crisis.

• These children will have a higher threshold for managing their emotions and responses to life's difficulties
