At Crie,
Regular Course (4 Lessons per Month)
The Regular Course consists of one monthly cycle (4 lessons), with a different theme each week.Through Crie’s inquiry-based curriculum—observe, think, experiment, and transform ideas into personal expression—children deepen their learning step by step over four sessions.Each month is structured as one complete cycle of four lessons.
Because the theme changes every week, children stay engaged while developing a wide range of expressive skills and a strong sense of curiosity and exploration.
-
Week 1 | VTS + Drawing (Copying)
Children build observation and communication skills through Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS), then refine their expressive abilities through drawing and copying. -
Week 2 | STEAM (1)
Art experiments incorporating elements of science and mathematics, inspiring surprise, curiosity, and discovery. -
Week 3 | STEAM (2)
More advanced activities that encourage children to develop their ideas further and turn them into concrete forms. -
Week 4 | Free Creation
Children create freely based on a theme of their choice, enjoying self-expression while applying what they have learned throughout the month.
Regular Lite Course (2 Lessons per Month)
The Regular Lite Course is an easy-to-attend, two-session program that captures the essence of the Regular Course. The latter half of the course includes expanded and adapted creative activities
.
-
First Half (Weeks 1–2): VTS + Drawing (Copying)
-
Second Half (Weeks 3–4): STEAM (Hands-on Making)
