OUR STORY
4R’s was registered in 1993 as a non-profit charitable organization (Charitable Registration Number: BN 89887 0530 RR0001) comprising qualified, experienced teachers, concerned parents, and supporters.
We value students who learn differently and believe that every child can learn no matter how severe a learning difficulty they have. We recognize that self-esteem comes from happiness with oneself, one’s relationships, and one’s achievements. To this end, we work to promote an atmosphere of goodwill, encouragement and support for all who come to us by working from strengths to help overcome weaknesses. We implement structured, individualized programmes with caring and experienced teachers who provide positive and immediate feedback.
We confer and interact with parents, helping them identify and understand their child’s needs. We aim to improve communication between school, home, and 4R’s by providing advocacy personnel when requested.
