Primary Curriculum Overview<\/h2>

The primary school is also guided by the British Curriculum and follows the framework set out by the Pearson iPrimary Program with 10 core subjects. Project-based learning activities enhance learning and understanding by mirroring themes in the textbooks with practical problem-solving. This combined approach of academic and applied, practical experiences are embedded with 21st Century skills known as the 4Cs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The primary school component of life skills is called PSHE (personal, social, health and economic) and is better suited to developing young adults with personal, social and interdisciplinary skills to accommodate the \u201creal-world\u201d. Our curriculum also reflects a spectrum of cultures and nationalities. We focus on being \u201cinternationally minded\u201d and deliver our curriculum in an international context, preparing students as international citizens for the global community.

  • Mathematics: Basic arithmetic (addition, subtraction), understanding of 2D\/3D shapes, and measurement.<\/span><\/li>
  • Science: Basic understanding of the natural and physical world.<\/span><\/li>
  • Other Subjects: History, Geography, Art, Music, Physical Education (PE) and other languages.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    \u00a0Key Assessments:<\/span><\/p>
