Primary School
Today’s world is continuously changing and challenging. Therefore, the most important task of the school is for students to discover a life long joy in learning and to educate them to become responsible citizens. We believe that each individual can develop an understanding of the world for himself/herself and for others through inquiring, discussing, deciding, and thinking.

In the Primary School the children follow a Programme of Inquiry made up of six consecutive units the students work on through the year. These units are based around six organizing themes, big ideas about our world and who we are. Through this framework the students becomes familiar with the organizing themes and develop a greater understanding of the world around them.

Organizing Themes

• Who we are
• Where are we in place and time
• How we express ourselves
• How the world works
• How we organize ourselves
• How we share the planet

 

The units of inquiry are designed to incorporate different subject areas; however each unit has a specific subject area focus. The Programme sets out to produce an internationally minded person. The qualities we try and develop in the children and promote and model around the school to achieve this is known as the Learner Profile. We would hope to see these qualities in the kind of student we would be sending out into the world after graduating from our school. The following table taken from the IBO sets out the qualities found in the Learner Profile.
