Singapore education group MindChamps made history recently as the first to secure patent protection for its methodology across three major territories: the US, the UK, and Australia. Its approach revolves around a core belief: that the key to unlocking a child’s potential lies in the intersection of five literacies - Numerical, Language, Social, Emotional, and Musical. Hence, unlike traditional education, where each subject is neatly compartmentalised into its own silo, this methodology draws on the shared concepts between them, with the aim of drawing a synergy which helps to amplify learning across the board. On this episode of Breakfast Special, David Chiem, Founder CEO & Executive Chairman, MindChamps shares more about their research-based methodology.
