Expand their worldview
Our Primary Program raises world citizens with a strong sense of self and purpose.
Kind hearts, big dreams, full of talents
The Primary Program is the final stage of the Shichida Early Learning Program. Here, students explore how they would like to apply their advanced skills in the world. They are encouraged to think about what inspires them and how they can use their abilities to help others.
Humanics, the study of human nature or human affairs, is a principal concept of the Shichida Primary Program. Students will learn about people who change the world for the better and what it takes to overcome obstacles to achieve anything they put their mind to. The Shichida Primary Program is unique as it instils important values such as good work ethic, a growth mindset, compassion, and self-awareness. These will remain forever valuable to your child’s life.
The Shichida method is often referred to as “Soul Education” and will see why it is considered revolutionary early education when your child graduated from the Primary Program.

FAQs: Shichida Primary Program
The Primary Program is the final stage of your child’s Shichida journey. Designed for children aged 7 to 9, it builds on everything they’ve developed in their early years – now focusing on applying those skills in real-world, meaningful ways through memory mastery, public speaking, creative writing, critical thinking, and more.
Children who stay in the program unlock their deepest potential. The Primary Program is where the Shichida Method comes full circle – transforming confident thinkers into compassionate leaders. It’s where strong memory, communication, logic, and self-awareness become tools for success in school and life.
Classes are held once a week for 90 minutes on weekdays after school. This structure allows students to engage deeply while balancing school and other activities.
Only children who enrolled in Shichida before 4.5 years old are eligible.
Your child will develop:
- Advanced memory skills (eidetic recall, flashcard mastery, mnemonics)
- Public speaking, debate, and story writing
- Critical thinking and advanced math concepts
- Science and world geography knowledge
- Empathy, self-motivation, and a growth mindset
All delivered in a format that’s fun, inspiring, and deeply empowering.
The class is longer (90 minutes), with a maximum of 8 students, allowing for deeper focus and collaboration. Children begin to explore how to apply their talents to real-world topics like global awareness, character development, and self-expression – building skills they’ll carry with them into secondary school and beyond.
Humanics is the study of human nature and social responsibility. In the Shichida Primary Program, it forms the heart of our curriculum – helping children understand empathy, resilience, and how to use their abilities to create a better world.
Not at all. While students strengthen academic skills like maths, reading, and memory, they also build life skills: confidence, emotional intelligence, public speaking, creativity, and resilience. The goal is to raise thoughtful, well-rounded individuals – not just high achievers.
Graduates leave with more than knowledge – they leave with a toolkit for life. Many Shichida graduates go on to excel in academics, leadership, innovation, and the arts. More importantly, they carry with them the values of kindness, curiosity, and confidence that stay with them well beyond the classroom.
