A look inside our new composition book, created exclusively for our P5 and P6 students.

Each story is more than a model composition. It is a lesson in how writing works: how tension is shaped, how character is revealed, how a single gesture can carry the meaning of an entire scene.

Students read, annotate, infer and write — moving naturally from close reading to sharper composition.

Rooted in the Singapore syllabus. Designed with a contemporary understanding of how young writers learn.

The result is a workbook with unusual depth: intuitive to use, exacting in its standards and quietly ambitious in what it asks students to notice.

For students ready to write beyond the obvious.

A brief pause in the regular term calendar.

The Centre will observe a term break from Wednesday, 17 June to Tuesday, 23 June 2026. Regular term classes will be paused during this period, while Holiday Programmes and Mid-Year Review sessions will continue as scheduled.

Most children can be taught to write a complete composition. Fewer are taught how to make a story worth reading.

That is the difference this book is interested in.

The Academic Guide to Insightful Compositions teaches students how to move beyond event-driven writing and into writing with intention: where objects carry meaning, settings create mood, small actions reveal character and endings feel earned rather than simply completed.

Each story is paired with annotations, comprehension questions and writing insights that show students not just what happens in a passage, but how the writing works.

Because strong composition is not about decorating a story with impressive phrases.

It is about learning to notice more, choose better and write with greater depth.

For PSLE students who are ready to go beyond the obvious.

Monday bulletin: we’re taking a Vesak Day pause.

The centre will be closed on 01 June 2026. Replacement lessons are underway—if your Monday slot is still unsorted, the Front Desk is ready.

A little Hari Raya Haji note:
We’ll be closed on Wednesday, 27 May 2026. Replacement lessons are already being arranged—if yours is still pending, the Front Desk is just a message away.

Most students prepare for Orals by collecting answers.

But Orals was never meant to reward memorisation.
It is designed to assess how a student thinks, organises, and communicates.

Because beyond the exam, these are life skills:
🗣️ speaking with clarity
🧱 structuring ideas under pressure
⏳ responding thoughtfully in real time

At Academia, we still take the exam seriously.
But we prepare students for more than just the paper.

We train three things together:
1️⃣ Content — ideas worth expressing
2️⃣ Structure — clear, logical responses
3️⃣ Skills — calm, confident delivery

So students don’t just perform better in Orals.
They learn how to express themselves with precision — in school and beyond.

Labour Day. 1 May 2026.

The centre will be closed for the day.
Our Front Desk will be in touch to arrange replacement lessons. Should you not hear from us, please reach out.

Not all writing is created equal.
