Our Curriculum
An Inquiry-Based Approach to Learning
The core of our curriculum follows an inquiry-based approach to learning. Our students learn by engaging in authentic, real-world experiences where they actively construct knowledge through exploration, questioning, investigating, and reflecting on their findings in collaboration with their peers and educators.
We have developed four broad and progressive units of inquiry that follow the children from Early Years 1 through Kindergarten 2. Each unit consists of a summary overview divided into year-level focuses that are age-and stage-appropriate.
Our programme has been meticulously designed to offer children a holistic educational learning experience with eight transdisciplinary learning domains that align with both Singaporean and International educational standards.
The eight transdisciplinary learning domains are listed below:
-
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
-
Physical Development
-
Language and Communication
-
Literacy
-
Numeracy
-
Science
-
The Arts
-
Cognitive Development
Each learning domain has a set of specific learning strands and goals that follow a progressive learning continuum.
Our curriculum is strengthened by five core programme pillars:
- Bilingual Literacy (English and Mandarin)
- Numeracy
- Pastoral Care
- Outdoor Learning
To ensure children progress developmentally and succeed, we offer structured components for the English Literacy, Mandarin, and Numeracy pillars.
These structured components are systematic and progressive. Importantly, they are seamlessly integrated into the children's inquiries, allowing them to apply their knowledge in diverse contexts.
