Hess Educational Organisation has experience in teaching languages to young learners in Asia since 1983. The Hess Publishing team of 50 researchers and writers design and improve the curriculum based on feedback from parents, teachers and students to insure the highest standard is maintained. Hess’ curriculum is matched with current educational ideology.
At Hess Education Centre students learn to read through both sight words and phonics. Not only do students learn to read proficiently but thematic books are read to practice reading comprehension. The programmes create confidence through a variety of games and activities and positive rewards.
Hess teachers are graduates and need to undergo a rigid selection and training process. Lessons are planned with the understanding of the concept of ‘multiple intelligences’. Each of us learns in a different way, whether we need to read, listen to others, touch, experiment, be physical or discuss the concept. Hess is successful because of our focus on each individual learner.

Here’s what our parents have to say:
Aisyah (Kindergarten 2)
Keep up the good work. I like the ‘less commercial’ environment. Thumbs up! Materials and programmes for the K2 are far more progressive when compared to other enrichment centres. We are very pleased with the dedicated Admin staff and teachers. Theme parties are great. It helps in cultivating interest in education. Aisyah always looks forward to attend Hess weekly.
Chiron Cheng (Kindergarten 2)
Chiron is now very chatty and has a higher level of confidence. Teacher Tim is great, he understands and encourages Chiron all the time. Lorraine and Mira are very caring and attentive to our needs and concerns. Overall, a great place.
Daniel Choi’s mum (Kindergarten 2)
We find the one week holiday programmes amazing. It is like accelerated learning. Daniel can learn a song or remember a lesson in one week, whereas it would take a whole term for him to pick it up in a normal kindergarten.
Damien’s mum (Play Group and Nursery Enrichment)
I really like the materials from Hess. The illustrations and characters really attract me and my boy. Damien now speaks confidently in both Mandarin and English. The warm up session in Play Group involving the parents boosted his social skills. He just loves the journey with Hess.
Thomas (Nursery) & Winnie (Creative Writing)
I love the environment here. It’s so bright and interesting and increases my children’s willingness to come for classes. The service attitude of the Admin Staff is ‘ichiban’! Very Good!
Ariel’s mum (Nursery)
Ariel has improved from a quiet girl to a more out-spoken girl. Good job Teacher Lara! All staff from the school is very close and supportive, can tell that Ariel enjoys her lesson in Hess and she looks forward to her Sunday class every week.
