Sri Bestari International School Info Day

Sri Bestari International School is having is Info Days on the following dates and time:

Saturday, April 6, 2019 from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm

Saturday, May 11, 2019 from 11.00 am to 12.00 pm

You may have heard of the term Open Day and Info Day but do you know the difference? The difference is Open Day is usually carried out during term holidays whereas Info Day is carried out while school is in session so that you can see and visualize your child in the school.

You can also ask questions during the Info Day as teachers will be available to explain everything you need to know about the school including the school fees and teaching approach. One of the things you can ask about  is Sri Bestari International School's thematic learning approach, My Little MBA (Mind Blowing Adventures).

Mind Blowing Adventures at Sri Bestari International School

At Sri Bestari International School, students are not taught subjects separately in classrooms where students cannot see how each subject is related to another in the real world. Instead, a thematic approach is used to teach students various inter-related concepts that students encounter in day to day living.


Sri Bestari uses the My Little MBA (Mind Blowing Adventures) thematic approach to teach students while emphasizing three important components

1. Financial Literacy,
2. Communication and Negotiation Skills and
3. Product Science

Holistic Learning Based on Themes



English, Math, Science and Mandarin are combined during thematic learning to teach children concepts.

For example, when learning about currencies used in Singapore and Malaysia 
- students learn how to add and convert currencies when buying products in Singapore (Maths)- they learn how to converse in Mandarin when they role play how to buy goods in Singapore (Mandarin) - they learn how to communicate when buying goods and learn about the famous landmarks in Singapore (English)
- they also learn the weight of money and products in Malaysia and Singapore (Science)


Each theme is presented in all of the learning areas (Math, Science and the languages) so that children are able to make meaningful connections between the lessons and the real world. These themes are relevant to children’s real-life experiences making it easier for them to build connections between prior and new knowledge.

Children are encouraged to be responsible for their own learning by allowing them to actively search for multiple resources that are related to the topic. This encourages them to think critically on how one activity is related to another.

In a nutshell, My Little MBA is a  programme for children to learn about the value of money to help them understand the reason why certain products of the same category are more expensive than others. Children are taught the differences in pricing (financial literacy) and the factors that contributes to these differences. The ultimate aim is to help children understand their needs vs their wants before demanding for things. The children learn through the integration of English and Mandarin as the medium of instructions ( via role play , songs and presentation) so that they are able to articulate their opinions through  these languages . The understanding of currency exchange will help the children to gain insights and to compare the products sold by our neighbouring countries (imported products ) .
