Prince George’s school curriculum looks surprisingly intense for a five-year-old

It's going to be jam-packed!

It’s back-to-school time.

And that includes Prince George, who this September, will enter his second year of school at Thomas’s Battersea in London.

This year, Prince George will be entering Year 1, as it is the first year of a more formalised learning programme for the students. And formalised, it is.

The royal’s new curriculum actually took us by surprise. From math to science and history, the five-year-old is set to have a jam-packed schedule that makes us exhausted even to look at.

According to the school:

“Year 1 sees the beginning of a more formalized learning program. Children in Year 1 become increasingly independent and confident and begin to relish the opportunity to tackle new challenges presented to them across the broad curriculum.”

And going by Vogue, the list of subject is seriously broad.

Here’s what’s included…

  • Math
  • Science
  • History
  • English
  • Geography
  • Religious studies
  • Drama (optional)
  • Ballet (optional)
  • French
  • Swimming (optional)
  • Gymnastics (optional)
  • Computing (optional)

And the little prince will also have extra work to do when he returns to the palace. According to the school: “Reading homework of 10 minutes is set every night. In addition, a spelling rule or pattern is sent home each week.”

Prince George’s first day of school this year is also expected to be very different to last year, with the reported addition of his mother, Kate Middleton, too dropping him off.

Last year, Kate was suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum while pregant with her third child, Prince Louis and therefore, Prince William brought his son to school alone.

So, expect to see both parents in attendance this year for what is expected to be a very cute moment.
