Course Offerings - Middle School
The Middle School offers a broad, balanced curriculum, understanding that learning through a range of disciplines creates a well-rounded student experience. Regardless of the subject, students are encouraged to reflect regularly on how they approach their learning (AtLs) and to make connections to their local and global environments.
Learning is defined in a coherent curriculum, centred on concepts. When deep learning occurs, it is often because students have been engaged in a process of learning that helps them understand the current topic of study but also allow for the transfer of that learning to new situations.
Students develop digital literacy through specialist instruction and support through the 1:World Laptop scheme and children’s personal, social and emotional well-being is ensured through the Homeroom, Advisory, Counselling and CASCADE programme. Building on the strengths they have developed in the Lower School as they enter Grade 6, by the time students complete Grade 8, they are well-set for success in the High School grades.
