Teaching Philosophy

I believe every learner is gifted. While no education system or teacher is perfect, the right mindset and attitude make teaching and learning meaningful. As a teacher, I strive to model lifelong learning, staying competent in this evolving 21st century.

Learning goes beyond facts—it’s about engaging minds and nurturing insight. As the Chinese proverb says, it takes ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred to nurture a generation. Teaching is a sacred responsibility, grounded in conscience and heart.

I live by the principle: be the teacher I want my children to have. Grades may fade, but character and values endure—just as Einstein said, “Education is what remains after one has forgotten what was learned in school.”

A learning centre plus Christian church-school with the aim to empower young lives with 21st century knowledge and skills based on biblical principles."

At Elpida Centre, we believe that education is more than just academics - it's about nurturing well-rounded individuals who are prepared for life. With more than 10 years of experience in homeschooling education, a dedicated team of over 15 educators, and a dynamic learning environment, we provide students with the best oppurtunities to grow, excel, and discover their passions.

Fees are varied based on year level. For an accurate and detailed fee breakdown, we encourage parents to schedule a visit.

Our hours are from 10 AM to 4 PM; however, we encourage students to reach out by 9:30 AM daily.

“Elpida Homeschool is rooted in a vibrant church environment, raising up children in the Word of God, instilling biblical values, and shaping Christlike character through the power of the Holy Spirit.”

IGCSE stands for the International General Certificate of Secondary Education, a globally recognized qualification for students typically aged 14-16. It serves as an internationally-valued alternative to the UK GCSE, recognised by universities and employers worldwide, and helps prepare students for further education. Offered by examination boards such as Cambridge Assessment International Education and Pearson Edexcel, IGCSEs provide a broad range of subjects and a flexible curriculum designed for international learners.

Our classrooms are small in scale, allowing each learner to receive full attention and personalised guidance. In this intimate setting, educators become facilitators who observe, listen, and scaffold learning, rather than delivering information for passive absorption.

Morning session: Activities Noon session: Academics Afternoon session: Enrichment programs

We’re not a traditional school — learning here goes beyond books. Our activities are designed to enhance academic learning, not replace it. Parents receive daily updates via WhatsApp on each child’s lesson progress.

We generally follow the government school holiday calendar, though there may be slight differences depending on our internal schedule and programs.

We are based in Seri Kembangan, Serdang — a learning centre and Christian homeschool dedicated to equipping young lives with 21st-century knowledge and skills, grounded in biblical principles.
