Curriculum Details

|
Curriculum type

Non-local
|
|
Curriculum planning
|
|
The ISF Pre-School curriculum is developed on the basis of the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) and The ISF Academy Foundation Years curriculum, drawing together the essence of Chinese and Western thinking. The program is delivered through two languages of instruction, with 70% in Putonghua and 30% in English. It provides a rich bank of experiences from which young children can learn to make sense of their own world and the world around them.
The ISF Pre-School curriculum’s fully integrated, balanced, inquiry approach to teaching and learning capitalizes on young children’s interest and their desire to explore, ask questions and find the answers. Each unit is designed to focus on issues relevant to young children and lasts several weeks to allow in-depth and authentic learning. The curriculum fully integrates the six key learning areas:
• Language • Early Childhood Mathematics • Nature and Living • Arts and Creativity
• Physical Fitness and Health • Self and Society
|
|
Learning / Teaching approach and activities
|
|
The program is designed to be sufficiently flexible to accommodate for individual children’s patterns of learning and development. The program provides opportunities for new learning to be fostered and enables children to reflect on different ways of doing things, makes connections across time and place, establishes different kinds of relationships and encounter different points of view.
|
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
|
Effective assessment procedures are critical to effective teaching and learning at all ages. Teachers can best meet the needs of individual learners when they are able to establish, through a range of diagnostic and formative assessment procedures, the next step required to be taken in the teaching process. Taking the time to find out what a child has actually learned at the end of a lesson is an essential part of the planning process.
