I Love Learning Achievement Center
I Love Learning Achievement Center (ILLAC) provides enrichment programmes for children aged 2 to 16 years old, stimulating their learning abilities so they learn better and faster. Their programme combines both learning abilities optimisation and curriculum teaching into one. While some enrichment centres train students in studying skills, right-brain optimisation and focus on how to score in examinations, ILLAC differs by seeing the importance of an enhanced learning ability combined with academic skills and subject familiarisation to train students in both areas in all their programmes. The Elite Kids Programme actively stimulates kids age 2 to 6 with fun and engaging hands-on activities and real-life props to boost their learning abilities alongside phonics and mathematical acuity. The Junior Programme is uniquely designed for children aged 5 to 6 to further enhance their learning abilities while mastering the important academic skills required in primary level. The ILLAC Programme for children aged 7 to 16 years actively stimulates their learning abilities through brain-priming activities that equip them with academic expertise in subjects such as English, Mathematics and Science.
