About Us
Play with One another Dream at Oasis
Welcome to The P.O.D.O. Club, a creative sanctuary where early learning meets imagination. Our name reflects our core heartbeat: Play with One another, Dream at Oasis. We believe that education should be as vibrant as a child’s imagination.
By integrating the creative arts into every step of our program, we provide a holistic environment where children develop socially, physically, and intellectually. Our mission is to provide a refreshing "Oasis" for young learners—a safe space where they can build meaningful connections and discover their unique potential. At The P.O.D.O. Club, we aren’t just preparing children for school; we are nurturing happy and growing children who are ready to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Why Choose Us?
- Art-Centered Learning: We use music, movement, and visual arts to make complex concepts digestible and fun.
- Holistic Wellness: Our curriculum balances physical health with emotional resilience.
- Community First: We foster an environment where children learn the joy of playing and growing together.
Our Philosophy
At The P.O.D.O. Club, we believe that education is not about providing the right answers, but about nurturing the right power of thought. Since 2012, our mission has been to provide a creative "Oasis" where children develop the emotional and intellectual resilience needed for a global future.
1. PLAY with One Another
- The Power of Diversity: Play is the first language of global citizenship. With a student body comprised of 30%-40% international children, our students don't just "learn" English—they live it. By playing together, they embrace Diversity as a core value, learning to communicate and collaborate across cultures from as early as 12 months old.
2. DREAM at Oasis
- The Power of Creativity: An Oasis is a place of life and refreshment. In our Creative Arts-integrated program, we provide a sanctuary for the imagination. We encourage children to dream beyond boundaries, using music, movement, and visual arts to discover their unique essence. We focus on the "Thinking Power" that allows a child's individual identity to flourish.
3. GROW into the Future
- The Power of Excellence: True growth is measured by a child's ability to thrive in any environment. Our philosophy is proven by our results. Since 2012, our "Happy and Growing" children have moved on to the world’s most prestigious institutions, including Cardigan Mountain School, Fay, Choate, Chadwick International, and Seoul Yewon School. With a high acceptance rate to top-tier international and gifted schools, we prove that when a child grows with joy, they grow with excellence.
How
The curriculum is based on the belief that children learn through play, active manipulation of their environment, life experience, and communicating with peers and adults. It is designed to facilitate children's involvement in their own learning.
Thematic Approach
The P.O.D.O. Club uses theme-based learning to engage children in the learning process. The Weekly and monthly lessons are available in a variety of subjects, including art, music, science, and mathematics. A common theme that keeps children learning is to focus on a broad idea while covering specific knowledge and skills throughout. We believe that using learning activities based on themes is one of the best ways to integrate content in a way that makes sense to students, helps them make connections, and helps them apply what they learn to their lives.
