What Senior KG means

Senior KG is the second kindergarten year, also called UKG (Upper Kindergarten) and, on some forms, Upper KG. At NAS it is the approximately 4.5 to 5.5 years stage.

Challenge stays meaningful

Longer stories, sound-letter links, early writing, number games, measurement and plan-do-review tasks give children a reason to think.

Responsibility builds confidence

Classroom jobs, group projects, routines and reflection help children see themselves as capable members of a learning community.
