Beyond student care

Afterschool at Explorer Junior goes beyond supervision and beyond classroom learning. It is a thoughtfully designed programme where academic guidance, STEM exploration and community culture come together within a small, focused cohort.

Here, children do not simply complete homework. They extend their thinking, explore ideas more deeply and develop habits of curiosity and exploration that last beyond the school day.

A close-knitted learning community

Our afterschool programme is intentionally limited to a small cohort of students at any one time. This allows us to cultivate meaningful educator-student relationships, personalised guidance and a strong sense of belonging.

We believe depth matters more than size. By maintaining a focused scale, we preserve the quality of mentorship, attentiveness and care that define Explorer Junior.

Within this environment, children are known, supported and challenged thoughtfully.

Limited spaces are available each intake cycle.

A living lab for learning

Afterschool at Explorer Junior is where our ideas about STEM education are tested and lived out daily.

STEM projects and conversations about digital literacy and sustainability go beyond the scheduled lesson time and surface naturally within daily rhythms of learning, shaped by real-life questions and experiences.

Within this environment, children develop Curiosity to ask better questions, Critical Thinking to solve problems, Creativity to design solutions, Collaboration to work with others, and the Confidence and Courage to share and improve their ideas.

A typical day at EJ

Our daily schedule balances academic responsibility with purposeful exploration. Structure provides stability, while the enrichment programs create space for curiosity and growth.

  • We pick up students from Maha Bodhi School during school term. If your child is attending another school, kindly contact us to enquire about transportation arrangements. We provide lunch and tea break during school term & an additional breakfast during school holidays. 

    Our meals are prepared by NEA-licensed cook to ensure that our students receive fresh and nutritious food daily. Fruits are provided during lunch and children can also refill their water bottles from our filtered water dispenser to stay hydrated.


  • We provide a safe and positive studying environment for our explorers to develop good learning habits and support them in the fundamentals for academic excellence.

    After lunch and rest, children will start their school/tuition assignments and our student care educators will support them with their school spelling (English/Chinese) revision. We also provide a set of subject revision materials that we work on everyday.

    We keep our teacher to student ratio to 1:12 to ensure all children get sufficient attention.

  • Students will take a break during this time and snacks will be served.

  • Our afternoon enrichment block is where growth meets purposeful exploration. Students rotate through curated programmes designed to build confidence, competence, and character beyond homework completion.

    Jr Tech Titans
    Hands-on technology sessions where students explore coding, maker projects, AI concepts, and digital literacy in age-appropriate ways.

    Jr Braveminders (SEL Programme)
    Guided social-emotional learning sessions that develop emotional regulation, empathy, resilience, and healthy communication. Through reflective conversations, journaling, and interactive activities, students learn to navigate their emotions, friendships and challenges.

    Jr Scientists
    Inquiry-based science exploration where students experiment, observe, and think critically. From environmental themes to applied STEM challenges, we nurture curiosity and real-world problem solving.

    Outdoor Explorers
    Intentional outdoor time for movement, teamwork, and play. Physical activity and unstructured interaction support executive function, social skills, and overall well-being.

    Math & Science Coaching
    Targeted small-group coaching to strengthen foundational understanding and exam confidence. We focus on concept clarity and problem-solving strategies rather than rote drilling.

    This structured enrichment window ensures that every afternoon balances academic support, character development, and hands-on exploration.

  • Students wind down through open-ended play and quiet activities. They may build with LEGO and blocks, read independently, draw, or engage in light conversations with peers and teachers.

    Parents may pick up anytime during this period.
