Curriculum

     Ideally, a child enters one of our Pre-Primary classrooms as a 3+ and remains in that same environment for two consecutive years. By the time a child has completed a two-year Kindergarten Cycle (encompassing the traditional pre-school and kindergarten ages) the child is comfortable working independently, to complete a complex series of tasks happily. Kindergarten classes are generally divided evenly between 3 year olds and 4 year olds at the start of the School year.

“Each child progresses at a pace that is individually appropriate in each curriculum area, allowing each student to feel successful and challenged at all times.”

     The curriculum is based on facts about how children develop and learn emphasizing upon: Acquisition of skills, Learning of Concepts, Language skills to express needs, Visual discrimination skills for reading – writing readiness, Sorting and classification skills, Concepts of shape, space, time, measurement and numbers, Gross and fine motor skills to learn to get along with others, Problem solving skills to foster Reasoning ,Decision making and creativity to build a wholesome personality

Our education is modernistic in its outlook, traditional in its values and sensitive to social issues in its approach.

Multiple opportunities are offered to each child for public speaking from the time they enter Grade 1 through Grade 5, making our students confident, self-assured individuals who are not just prepared to get moulded in the ways of the world; they mould the world to their ways.

     The curriculum is designed to support optimal learning for the young adolescent. Specifically, the Sixth Grade program provides its students the opportunity to transition smoothly to the middle school culture. Teachers of this grade focus on helping students in the areas of organisation, study skills, and basic strategies designed to help the students identify their learning style and how they learn best in order to prepare for the future middle school courses.

Students in the seventh grade refine and develop skills and strategies learned in sixth grade as they are encouraged to think more critically and more deeply about the material being covered. Class participation and discussion become key skills as students further develop higher order and abstract thinking skills.

discussion, project planning, organisation, critical thinking, and creative expression are all emphasised to ensure competency in preparation for their future academic endeavours.

     The knowledge and skills gained during the Middle School years equip the students with a firm academic foundation to pursue a variety of educational options in the future. Throughout the curriculum, students are presented with the opportunities to research, solve problems and come to their own conclusions and make decisions.

The late afternoon activity programme provides each child an opportunity to build a spare time interest or hobby and engage in creative and constructive pursuits. Sports and hobbies play a role in drawing out talent and building character and team spirit.

Responsible and upright behaviour are an expression of the school culture.
