Our teaching &
learning philosophy
We are committed to teaching and cultivating a broad spectrum of skills, including
critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity, and problem—solving, which
are paramount for navigating today’s rapidly changing world.
Our curriculum revolves around inquiry-based and project-based learning methodologies. In these methodologies, students actively
engage with real-world problems, honing their ability to develop solutions through hands-on experiences. This fosters curiosity,
independence, and a deeper comprehension of concepts and phenomena
We prioritize each learner’s unique needs, interests, and strengths, tailoring instruction and providing opportunities for students to take charge of their learning journey, fostering autonomy and self—directed learning.
We embrace diversity and champion an inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued, respected, and supported. We celebrate all students’ diverse backgrounds,
perspectives, and abilities and nurture empathy, understanding, and mutual respect.
We recognize the significance of play and dramatization in early childhood development. We incorporate playful and
dramatic activities to promote social-emotional skills, creativity, and imagination, laying a robust foundation for
future learning.
We harness technology as a potent tool to enrich teaching and learning experiences, equipping classrooms with cutting-edge technology and encouraging students to utilize digital tools for research, collaboration, and creative expression.
Learning is a continualjourney extending beyond the confines ofthe classroom. Our school community, comprising students, teachers, parents, and staff, actively engages in ongoing learning and professional development to stay abreast of the latest educational trends and best practices.
Our curriculum is meticulously crafted to address contemporary
issues, anticipate future demands, and meet the evolving needs of our
learners. It empowers students to critically analyze global challenges, devise innovative solutions, and become responsible global citizens.
While embracing international mindedness, we also value
local relevance, integrating global perspectives with local
contexts, fostering cultural appreciation, cross-cultural
understanding, and a sense of belonging within the
local community.
We empower our students to enact positive chc nge in local and global
communities through service-learning initiatives. By engaging in meaningful projects that address authentic community needs, our students develop empathy, social responsibility, and a sense of purpose beyond themselves.
We go the extra mile
We offer a Cambridge curriculum with an International Baccalaureate (IB) approach across other year levels, promoting inquiry-based and project-based learning.
