00:00As the new school year opens, some students getting prepped up for the new academic year.
00:10Wisdom Warehouse, a learning center in Alcus, has been running a month-long boot camp that
00:15helps children prepare for the new school season.
00:17Much like the boot camps held to get back into shape, this one gets the students'
00:22brain muscles up and running.
00:23A very big need for the kids to just refresh their memories on the skills that they need
00:28for the coming school year, and also just to revise the skills that they'd learnt
00:32in the previous grades.
00:34We make it in a very hands-on and fun way, in that way they physically engage with the
00:39learning as well, as just analytically.
00:43We encourage critical thinking as well, and for them to become independent in their learning
00:49by giving them the skills and the opportunity to do the hands-on activities and therefore
00:55engage with it.
00:56The reason why I put my children in boot camp is because I know that they worked incredibly
01:01hard over the academic year.
01:04They really worked hard to achieve a certain level of success.
01:08And I know from past years that the two and a half months in between the end of the school
01:14year and the beginning of the next school year, they do tend to lose a bit of the momentum
01:19that they had gained.
01:20And so I thought that a boot camp would be the perfect way to get them back into the
01:27routine of going to school again, and also to start igniting those synapses that are
01:34necessary to do well in school.
01:37The institute has classes for younger children from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. every day, while older
01:42students stay back until 4 p.m.
01:44The students from ages 6 to 12 can choose from a four-week, three-week, two-week or
01:50one-week schedule.
