Our Logo Philosophy:

A Heart of Learning

Our logo isn’t just a symbol —

it reflects our belief that the heart of learning is the learning of the heart.

The radiating jigsaw lines represent learning pathways that reach inward — to your child’s strength, resilience, and potential.

We don't just fill academic gaps; we unlock joy, confidence, and a love for learning.

Every child is a unique puzzle.

We find the missing pieces to help them THRIVE.
