Julia Gabriel Centre was founded in Singapore in 1990, initially as a speech and drama school, by the British educator Julia Gabriel. The centre soon expanded into other areas of education, including written language, early childhood education and Mandarin. Today, Julia Gabriel Centre’s students range in ages from children as young as six months attending early childhood programmes to teenagers and adults, with centres not only in Singapore but also in Malaysia, Indonesia, India and China.
