Early Childhood
In our Early Childhood Division (ECD), we create a secure and welcoming space that encourages children's innate curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. Our focus is on literacy and numeracy, integrated into engaging and relevant topics. We teach language skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—through interactive units that connect with themes in social studies and science.
Below you will find the elementary handbook and curriculum guides:
Reading
Our reading instruction focuses on enhancing comprehension skills and advancing each child's phonics and decoding abilities. Students have access to a diverse range of literature, including classroom libraries and leveled books. Teachers provide personalized support through individual and small group instruction, ensuring progress for learners at all levels. Those who are ready for more challenging texts are encouraged to explore them. We regularly assess students to identify needs early and offer targeted interventions and English language support as required.
Writing
The focus of our writing instruction is on using writing as a means of communication to convey and share ideas. From an early stage, students use inventive spelling to write for different purposes, with a goal of mastering conventional spelling by the end of second grade. As they progress, they learn to organize their thoughts, construct paragraphs, choose vocabulary, form complete sentences, and develop main ideas with supporting details. Writing is closely linked to reading and thematic studies, with students discovering the elements of effective writing through literature. We assess students' writing through various methods, including rubrics and teacher-created evaluations, to gauge their development and provide feedback.
Math
Students engage with math concepts using hands-on tools to build their understanding. They progress from concrete to abstract thinking as they move through early childhood grades. Alongside this, they learn traditional algorithms - such as adding and subtracting 3-digit numbers by regrouping in second grade - memorize basic addition and subtraction facts, and practice multiplication and division. They are introduced to key areas of math, including numeration, estimation, mental math, geometry, measurement, and fractions, and are encouraged to articulate their mathematical reasoning. Whenever possible, math concepts are integrated with thematic units. Students' math progress is evaluated using both teacher-created assessments and program-specific tools.
