International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP); Columbia University Teachers College Reading and Writing Project (TCRWP); Project Zero, Harvard Graduate School of Education Maker-Centered Learning.
Our school is an IB World School which offers the PYP across all grades. This programme works in conjunction with two other programmes we implement, TCRWP and MCL. The PYP provides an inquiry based, child-centred, transdisciplinary framework that builds conceptual understanding. The six subject areas of language, maths, science, social studies, arts, and personal, social, and physical education (PSPE) are taught through transdisciplinary themes in order to help students make connections between the subjects. The PYP also aims to foster lifelong learners who possess the 10 attributes of the learner profile: inquirers, risk-takers, knowledgeable, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, thinker, reflective, and balanced. By providing diverse inquiry based learning engagements, the PYP cultivates the students’ international awareness. In conjunction with Project Zero, Harvard Graduate School of Education, we support maker-centered learning through an early childhood specific programme and framework for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths (STEAM). Maker-centered learning empowers young learners as creators by developing skills and various thinking routines that foster a “can-do spirit” for learners. Language development also plays a vital role in our school. Through TCRWP, students are able to participate in balanced literacy which includes: reading and writing workshops, shared reading, guided reading, read aloud, interactive writing, shared writing, and more. Through balanced literacy, students learn various strategies to read and write independently and confidently.

|
Learning / Teaching approach and activities
|
|
The children’s interest is piqued through the diverse and engaging environment created to support their inquiry and foster positive attitudes to learning and life. Good use is made of community resources by engaging in visits and inviting visitors into our community.

|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
|
Observation offers opportunities to continually assess children’s learning and plan the next step accordingly. Regular formal assessment ensures that all children’s learning is tracked and action can be taken to support the needs of each individual.

Students spend the beginning of term adapting to campus life; Parents Day offers the opportunity for teachers and parents to communicate and share ideas on supporting each individual child in the acquisition of the languages taught; we work with alumni to support a smooth transition for all K3 graduates into primary school. There are professional learning support colleagues to help parents and teachers understand the learning needs of individual students.
