At Lil’ but Mighty, we always say that every child can be a mighty writer and confident communicator — they just need the right strategies, support and heart. Today, we are beyond thrilled to share some mighty news: Lil’ but Mighty has been named Editor’s Choice in the “Best English Language Enrichment Centre” category at the Singapore Education Awards 2025 by HoneyKids Asia!

This recognition is a meaningful milestone, not just for our team, but for the wonderful community of students, parents and teachers who believe in the work we do. Thank you for cheering us on, nominating us and standing by our mission to make English learning joyful, purposeful and powerful.

🌟 What Makes This Award Special?

The Singapore Education Awards celebrates outstanding international schools and enrichment centres across 29 categories. Winners are chosen through public votes and the careful evaluation of a panel of education industry experts.

To be recognised as Editor’s Choice in the Best English Language Enrichment Centre category means that the HoneyKids editorial team sees Lil’ but Mighty as a standout centre—one whose impact, ethos, and commitment to excellence merit special recognition beyond the numerical scoring.

We’re deeply honoured.

🔎 What Were the Judges Looking For?

To identify Singapore’s top English enrichment providers, the judges evaluated centres based on a holistic set of criteria, including:

1. Academic Excellence & Quality of Curriculum

How robust are the learning materials? Are students developing real skills — not just memorising model answers? At LBM, our strategies-based approach emphasises clarity of thought, purposeful structure and authentic voice.

2. Student Engagement & Joy in Learning

Do children look forward to class? Are lessons interactive, meaningful and thoughtfully designed? We are proud that our LSR Methodology prioritises understanding over rote learning — with activities that nurture independence and confidence.

3. Teacher Expertise & Heart

The judges considered the centre’s teaching force: their qualifications, experience, classroom culture and impact. Every LBM teacher is trained to teach with strategy, empathy and clarity, ensuring every child feels seen, supported and challenged.

4. Results That Matter

This includes improvements in writing, oral communication and comprehension, as well as student confidence. Our track record across primary and secondary levels continues to speak for itself — and for that, we are so grateful to our hardworking students.

5. Culture, Values & Community

A centre is more than a classroom. It is a team, a mission, and a safe space. The judges looked at the organisation’s ethos and how it contributes to a child’s growth beyond academics. At LBM, our mantra has always been: Grow Mighty in English, Grow Mighty in Character.
