    Growhouse is growing

    The new branch of Growhouse has arrived in The Repulse Bay Shopping Arcade. Growhouse literacy enrichment programmes are divided into three streams: Fiction, Non-fiction and Film, which are devised by London Gifted & Talented for learners aged 5-16 years. Growhouse helps learners enrich their growth through a course structure of a learning journey: units and stages are progressively more challenging, ensuring students are consistently motivated. At stage one (for ages five to eight) comes the first steps to harness the conception of literary appreciation and critical thinking. Stage two (for ages eight to 11) strengthens the critical mind and ignites the passion to explore further. Contact [email protected] and visit www.growhouse-lgt.com for timetables.
