Primary school curriculum

Overview

From the very First Year, the social, intellectual, aesthetic, emotional, and physical needs of the child are central to the curriculum, so that the classroom becomes a world in which the acquisition of skills and conceptual understanding goes hand in hand with the freedom to enquire, explore, and create. The integrated learning that characterizes life in our early grades builds a deep understanding of who the children are as enquiring, independent, critical thinkers and learners in a global environment.

Every day, our children will have the opportunity of experiencing a safe and secure inclusive learning environment to work, learn, and play with peers from different countries and cultures from around the world. The connections made among subjects, people, times, and places characterize the interdisciplinary nature of our primary school curriculum.

In the early years, units of enquiry are designed to enable transdisciplinary learning, based on the premise that the ultimate demonstration of learning is when skills can be practically applied and transferred to different situations. Core academic skills like reading, writing, and numeracy are studied and are also embedded in the unit of enquiry, and pupils are naturally exposed to the key concepts of the arts, sciences, and humanities subjects through their research.
