Curriculum planning
Victoria (Homantin) International Nursery is an authorised IB World school since May 2010, implementing the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). We take pride in our commitment to offer a curriculum that draws on world class research and best practice, including the Language and Literacy Programme, and Maker-Centered Learning from Project Zero at the Harvard Graduate School of Education since 2018. Our inquiry-based approach fosters agency and critical thinking in our early years classrooms, supporting the development of communication, collaboration, and creativity.
Learning / Teaching approach and activities
Our early years learners are by nature, full of curiosity. Our school environment supports the children in their exploration and investigation of both new and familiar concepts. Inquiry-based learning is driven by the learners questions and wonderings. The role of the teacher during inquiry is to guide and facilitate the students to construct their own meaning through engaging, relevant, challenging and significant learning. In this way, a student is the agent for their own learning. Learner agency is connected to a students belief in their ability to succeed.
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
In alignment with the PYP, we assess our students progress in each of the five essential elements which are covered throughout different subject areas. These five elements are the understanding of concepts, acquisition of knowledge, mastering of skills, the development of positive attitudes and the decision to take responsible action. Our assessments are ongoing and our portfolios are an example of the collection of students' work that demonstrates their growth, thinking, creativity and reflection of both academic and social development over time. Aside from this, we also report through newsletters which are sent home at the end of a term, unit reports which are sent home at the end of every unit, developmental reports at the end of each term as well as Student Led Conferences and Exhibition.
