Studies in many countries show that students learn
best when they are active and involved, when they
are encouraged to think for themselves and when
they participate in solving their own problems and
challenges. The curriculum therefore focuses on
student-centred learning using appropriate teaching
and learning strategies such as group and cooperative
learning. Problem solving strategies and higher
level thinking skills are consistently emphasized
during the student’s learning experience.
The School applies an integrated learning approach
at the primary level with a gradual focus on individual
subjects at the secondary level. In line with the
British curriculum’s requirements, the curriculum
is subject-focused at secondary level, leading to
the GCSE O and A level examinations.
The curriculum is designed to develop well-rounded
individuals who are able to think for themselves,
contribute to society and be responsible and engaged
citizens of their country.
The school is moving to the International Bacalaureate
(IB) Curriculum. It has been accepted as a candidate
school for the P.Y.P. (Primary Years Programme)
and began formal implementation in July 2005.
To graduate, students must obtain a minimum of seven
O level subjects, which must be taken in one sitting.
At advanced and subsidiary levels, they must obtain
a minimum of 3.5 subjects. All of the Class 12 graduates
pursue tertiary-level education.
English Language Workshop
The Language Workshop is a significant feature of
the School's commitment to being an English medium
institution, to develop the student's English language
abilities.
The workshop teaches students basic language skills
to complement the English language and literature
classes. This approach enhances students’
core reading and writing competencies as prescribed
by the British curriculum. With creative teacher-facilitated
learning and active student participation, they
also improve their speaking and listening abilities
significantly.
Computer Studies
Starting in kindergarten, students receive hands-on
experience with computers. The aim is to ensure
that all students are computer literate - one of
the School’s most important goals. |
