Convenient location
Acrominds program only works with parents involvement! It requires parents' observations & feedback as the class progresses. Acrominds aims to reinforce the important lessons they receive from you!
📄 Researched-based
Tried & tested lesson formats, Acrominds methodology is based on research from neuroscience, child-psychology & emotional technologies. As seen with the hundreds of international school students who have experienced the methodology, we are confident your kids will develop their own unique sets of future-ready abilities while experiencing childhood with more joy, vigour & self-confidence.
Your Child/ren Will Discover How To Apply life Skills To Breeze Through Challenges of School Life.
We love to be transparent with our lesson plans. Here is an idea of what a 4-week lesson plan might look like!
Session 1: Intrinsic Confidence
Week 1 is about Inner confidence. Acrokids learn to shoo away negative thoughts about themselves and be less reliant on external praises and acknowledgement. As for all weeks, this is done through a series of physical activities, challenges, and coaches guidance. We're using parkour-based movements, jumping over, swinging & balancing on obstacles present in the neighbourhood parks.
Session 2: Extrinsic Confidence
The common idea is that extrinsic motivation is not recommended. Kids should have only intrinsic motivation! This is not true. Inner motivation does not work without external motivators. In this class, Acrokids discover they can get a thousand times better when they have a strong external motivator. They would also learn how to use external motivation to achieve mundane tasks like... homework!
Session 3: Intrinsic Motivation
In this class, Acrokids will meet a bigger challenge. Parents are not allowed, to cheer them on. Acrokids will learn how to draw motivation from within and accomplish a 'challenge' they might be terrified of at the start. Of course, all physical & emotional safety precautions are taken, plus, we will not force your child! We won't have to :) This challenge will inform parents & coaches that the intended strategies have been fully integrated. The question is, what will this tell the children about themselves?
Session 4: Social Empathy
To cap it off, it’s all about reaffirmation and celebration. Each and every one of the Acrokids is now emotionally and mentally stronger, fully prepared to support their peers! The session will include engaging group games followed by reflective exercises to internalize the lessons learned.
What’s next? A meeting for parents! Upon receiving your feedback and observation, we will continue tweak and reinforcing all four life skills as your children progress in their learning journey. Together, we will empower our kids to build meaningful connections and foster a supportive community!

The Acrominds Experience
Jon Stead 12, Student
"Coach Ash's teaching methods are great! I really like the Mind-over-Body concept, the way Coach Ash help us mentally to get over obstacles really helped me especially with the side flips."
Crystal Lim, MOE Teacher
Ash is magic with kids. His classes are consistently fun, exciting & challenging! With ten years of coaching experience under his belt, he uses a very interactive yet supportive approach and knows exactly how to skilfully push his students so that they can achieve their maximum potential. Besides having excellent communication skills, he is also a great listener- it’s no wonder why all his students are always clamouring to talk to him! Overall, a very dedicated, nurturing and fun-loving coach! :)
Annie Toh, Gymnastics coach
" In gymnastics classes, Asraf is always engaging towards the gymnasts. He always uses positives and encouraging words to correct and help the gymnasts improve their skills. He is a motivated coach who influences his gymnasts to always get moving!"
Stephanie Choo, Parent
Coach Ash teaches my sons Social Emotional Learning through Parkour. In just a lesson, my husband and I saw a lot of positive changes to our sons’ attitudes when faced with challenges. Coach is also able to accurately identify physical weakness so that we can focus on working with them at home. In general, Coach Ash is very patient and is excellent at handling kids.

What inspired me to put Empower Childhood Academy together?
Years ago as an assistant coach,
I witnessed a 6-year-old gymnast stood up for what she taught was right.
"Why must girls do it different than boys?!” -She argued back at her coach.
It was about finger positioning in gymnastics. Boys had closed fingers while girls had them open.
I did not sleep that night, and the many nights to come.
How is it that a 6-year-old is confident enough to stand up for what she believed in to a figure of authority?
While the 22-year-old me( and many other adults) didn’t even dare to do so?
Since then, in hopes to overcome my own
emotional & social anxieties,
I quested myself to discover
what de-powers a child,
and exactly what it takes
To unleash a child’s confidence within.
10 years later worth of observations, courses, and testing against ideas,
I found the core elements to the answer-
That we can unleash the giant within children as long they have
a healthy & safe, and empowering learning environment.
I designed EC Academy for that very reason, and
Acrominds is part of the mission;
For all of us to come together,
remove the unnecessary anxieties of school life,
and provide for both surrounding tribe leaders & children,
an Empowering Childhood.
Our Mantra:
“It takes an Empowering Tribe to Raise an empowering Child”
If you share the vision, let's nurture the empowering environment together!
