Our vision is to equip families with skills to succeed in life.
We believe that every child should have access to great education that will enable the child to thrive into adulthood. Great education begins at home, and in contexts of learning that promote psychological safety.
At Little U, we see the work involved in educating whole families as the missing piece in the current labour market. We should not separate individuals from their origin stories of living and learning, otherwise we struggle to make sense of who we are and what we are learning.
We pioneer a new thinking in Singapore: that training of a quality workforce is the training of whole families through personalising their education. In doing so, they will be able to identify their strengths, develop 21st century competencies and meet challenges in life with confidence.
Our mission is to develop your journey to mastery.
We offer training at our microschool The Learnery for parents, children and educators. Outside of The Learnery, consultancy to the public on how to build great education at work, home or play. We provide mobile and impactful training workshops that can be carried out in small groups at home to corporate environments. As a member of the Mastery Transcript Consortium (MTC), every student enrolled in our high school program receives an MTC Learning Record at the end of their journey with us.
The Learnery is our prototype for seeding future learning models that will enable individuals to thrive in the future economy. From home to work, the qualities of learning should be evident in environments that train mastery. We run The Learnery like master craftsmen. We want it to be known for Apprenticeship, Beauty, Craft, Design to meet human resource challenges of the 21st century.
A human-centred understanding is at the forefront of our curriculum framework: Who are we? How are we wired? What is significant to human interactions? Our foundation is the humanities, from which we develop interests into all areas of human life. We teach humans to better themselves through thinking deeply about their education, and what they want out of it. Because the better we understand ourselves as human beings, the better human beings we will be. Society will be better off as a result.
We are a microschool consultancy.
In 2025, we will be a non-profit organisation.
