Secondary Curriculum

Our challenging and rigorous curriculum gives each child a foundation of knowledge and a wealth of skills with which to understand and question the world we live in. We also want them to develop a life-long commitment to pondering the question of how, what or why. With the relative youth of their students and the integrated approach they take toward education, the senior wing curriculum have the flexibility to create effective teaching units that cross subject-matter barriers and help students learn across educational disciplines.

When they use this collaborative freedom to its fullest extent, teachers can carry out a high school curriculum that engages young minds to explore subjects beyond the common terms of math, science, social studies, and English.

For example, an integrated middle school curriculum unit might explore both the students’ awareness of self-identity and the different types and levels of cultural awareness in different countries.

Elements of history, politics, religion and diversity could be discussed in social studies. Aspects of human development can be covered in both science and creative writing, and for additional perspective, art or drama could be studied and physical education could explore and test the new capabilities their growing bodies gain at that age.
