Early Years
Designed to nurture children's natural curiosity, playfulness, and sociability, the preschool follows an inquiry-based learning model inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach.
Students spend significant time outdoors, engaging with diverse environments and enriching their learning experiences. Storytelling, role-playing, and imaginative play form the core of daily activities, fostering creativity and critical thinking. Essential life skills like conflict resolution, collaboration, and listening to others' perspectives are emphasized during these formative years.
Educators practice active listening and employ the 'life of an idea' framework to guide and extend children's inquiries. An emergent curriculum evolves from these explorations, with educators holding reflective, dialogic meetings at the end of each day to plan how to further build on the students' discoveries.
Elementary Years
These formative years lay a strong foundation in literacy, fostering children's independence under the guidance of educators.
This is also when a sense of community begins to take shape, with key components of the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) framework—such as growth mindset, fairness, kindness, respect, emotional regulation, self-appreciation, and handling disappointments—being actively emphasized.
As critical thinking and problem-solving skills develop, students start questioning their environment and seeking to influence it. During this period, the concept of voting for rules is introduced, helping children understand democracy and decision-making.
Middle Years
By this stage, children are expected to set personal goals and actively seek support when faced with challenges.
Key features of the Middle Years include a strong focus on academic development, with mathematics and transdisciplinary projects as core academic subjects. Personal inquiries continue through the concentrations, allowing students to dive deeper into areas of interest.
Democratic participation is an integral part of school life, with students playing active roles in decision-making processes and committees. These committees, which are interest-based task forces, contribute to the daily functioning of the school. For instance, the Judicial Committee manages disciplinary matters, the Business Committee oversees student enterprises, the Social Work Committee raises funds for outreach projects, and the Farming Committee maintains the school’s herb garden and animals.
Senior Years
As students prepare for their O Levels, they have developed a strong sense of independence in their learning and work at a pace that suits their needs.
Throughout this stage, there is a strong emphasis on building personal profiles that reflect each student's unique strengths and achievements. We also provide mentorship across a wide range of subjects, ensuring that students receive the guidance and support they need to excel both academically and personally.
