Learning about culture enhances understanding of diversities, values, and the global surroundings and building the right attitudes in life.

Communication involves conveying the right messaging in a meaningful way for the benefit of the community at large

The approach of i-CUBE is based on the fundamentals of Multiple Intelligence (MI) that recognises multiple talents in every child. It is a ‘holistic learning framework’ that focuses on the development of the ‘whole-child’; every student's intellectual, emotional, social, physical, cognitive, artistic, creative and scientific potentials.
