The Philosophy

Children are now ready for more formal education, and their world expands beyond the self. They are prepared to further explore and expand their horizons. At this stage, they begin to grasp complex concepts and connect with the real world through academic domains like reading, writing, and numbers.

The objective at this stage is to kindle their imagination, build their capacity to think, and make them flexible and self-reliant.

Assessment

To fully develop students’ capabilities, the school adopts a continuous and comprehensive evaluation system. The entire curriculum is divided into different units, which are assessed on a monthly basis. The learning outcomes that a child is expected to achieve by the end of each month are clearly defined in advance.

Students’ knowledge, understanding, and skills in each topic are evaluated through an ongoing and regular process. Assessment of a student’s learning occurs through consistent teacher-student interactions and activities that take place both inside and outside the classroom.
