00:00As the new school year opens, some students getting prepped up for the new academic year.

00:10Wisdom Warehouse, a learning center in Alcus, has been running a month-long boot camp that

00:15helps children prepare for the new school season.

00:17Much like the boot camps held to get back into shape, this one gets the students'

00:22brain muscles up and running.

00:23A very big need for the kids to just refresh their memories on the skills that they need

00:28for the coming school year, and also just to revise the skills that they'd learnt

00:32in the previous grades.

00:34We make it in a very hands-on and fun way, in that way they physically engage with the

00:39learning as well, as just analytically.

00:43We encourage critical thinking as well, and for them to become independent in their learning

00:49by giving them the skills and the opportunity to do the hands-on activities and therefore

00:55engage with it.

00:56The reason why I put my children in boot camp is because I know that they worked incredibly

01:01hard over the academic year.

01:04They really worked hard to achieve a certain level of success.

01:08And I know from past years that the two and a half months in between the end of the school

01:14year and the beginning of the next school year, they do tend to lose a bit of the momentum

01:19that they had gained.

01:20And so I thought that a boot camp would be the perfect way to get them back into the

01:27routine of going to school again, and also to start igniting those synapses that are

01:34necessary to do well in school.

01:37The institute has classes for younger children from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. every day, while older

01:42students stay back until 4 p.m.

01:44The students from ages 6 to 12 can choose from a four-week, three-week, two-week or

01:50one-week schedule.
