Weekdays: A Perfect Balance of Structure and Fun

Mornings: Rise and Shine!

At 6:30 AM, the school comes alive as students wake up and prepare for an exciting day ahead. After a hearty breakfast at 7:15 AM, it’s time to grab your bag and head to school!

The day begins with Tokkatsu, a unique Japanese approach to education that builds character, teamwork, and leadership. Then, it’s straight into stimulating lessons, designed to encourage critical thinking and problem-solving. Our Cambridge curriculum ensures that learning is engaging, interactive, and relevant to the real world.

Afternoons: Learning, Naps & Activities

After a delicious lunch at 12:30 PM, students have the option to take a short nap to recharge before returning to class. This power nap helps refresh the mind and boost energy levels, ensuring students stay focused for the afternoon lessons!

From 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM, lessons continue, covering a variety of subjects in a dynamic and interactive way. But that’s not all—afternoons at KBH are packed with engaging activities:

Evenings: Unwind & Recharge

As the sun sets, dinner at 6:00 PM brings everyone together for good food and great company. After that, students enjoy free time before getting back to business at 7:00 PM with Supervised Study Time (SST). This is when students focus, reflect, and refine their knowledge with the support of experienced teachers.

By 9:00 PM, it’s time to wind down, relax, and get ready for a good night’s rest at 10:00 PM, recharging for another exciting day at KBH!
