OUR PRIMARY SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Our primary students (ages 5 to 11) follow the National Curriculum for England. Adapted to our primary school context in the Philippines, the curriculum provides a strong academic foundation, as well as offering new and exciting learning experiences. Lessons are lively, fun, and challenging, encouraging our students to solve problems, think critically, and be creative.

A BROAD AND BALANCED EDUCATION

While core subjects such as English, maths, and ICT form a central part of our Year 1-6 students’ education, our integrated curriculum also includes themes that span geography, history, art and design, and STEAM.

In Years 5 and 6, our students follow an extended timetable, which includes drama and dance as part of our collaboration with The Juilliard School, as well as opportunities for cross-phase projects alongside children in Year 7. This helps them prepare for secondary.

Learning a second language is an important part of our primary education, bringing many academic, personal, and cultural benefits. Everyone is encouraged to join a sports team, learn a musical instrument, take part in a performance, and sign-up for one of our enrichment lessons, too. This enables our students to discover their talents and explore different interests.

Unsurprisingly, lunch is a highlight of our students’ day! Nutritious meals are served in our modern cafeteria, where children choose their own food and talk about the morning’s learnings with friends.
