Discover the Magic of Herbal Medicine! 
The Junior Herbalist Club (JHC) is a recognised extracurricular course for children and teens, offering an exciting three-level training program that grows with them: 
🌿 Level 1 & Level 2 – Offers hands-on herbal education for children, with 10 engaging sessions per level, packed with discovery and practical skills.
🌿 Level 3 – Designed exclusively for teens, this advanced level dives deeper into herbal medicine and body systems, critical thinking, and real-world applications. 
From playful exploration to in-depth study, JHC adapts to the age and ability of each group. Younger children embark on a journey of discovery, engaging all their senses in a safe and supervised environment. As students progress, the course evolves, ensuring that teens find exciting, age-appropriate challenges that expand their knowledge and skills. Whether starting fresh or continuing through the levels, JHC provides a structured and enriching learning experience—inspiring the next generation of herbalists!
