At Laurus International School of Science, step into the pages of beloved fairy tales and discover the magic of science.
Each day begins with a timeless story—like Jack and the Beanstalk, The Three Little Pigs, or Pinocchio—and opens the door to exciting experiments, crafts, and play.
Children won’t just read the tales; they will live them, exploring plants, building materials, and measurement through hands-on activities that bring stories to life.
Daily Schedule
-
Through the story of Jack and his magical beanstalk, children will discover how tiny seeds transform into towering plants, learning about the essential elements that help them grow and thrive.
-
Inspired by the Three Little Pigs, students will explore the science of building and materials, examining why some structures are strong and stable while others are easily broken down.
-
With the tale of Pinocchio, children will step into the world of motion and design, connecting the wonder of a puppet that comes to life with the science behind simple machines and motion.
-
Goldilocks’ adventure highlights the importance of measurement and comparison, encouraging children to observe, categorize, and understand differences in size, weight, and volume.
-
The classic tale of the three goats crossing the bridge introduces the science of bridges and forces, showing how strength, balance, and structure come together to create stability.

During seasonal events we are unable to accept students requiring the use of an EpiPen, or children with special needs due to the lack of medical staff available. If you require any further information, please contact us.
Since the administration of medication to children is a “medical procedure” as defined by law, we do not have permission to administer medication to children. Therefore, as a general rule, we are not able to accept medication at the school or on the school bus.
