Our Curriculum is based on a blend of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Montessori at the foundation phase (5 years and below) and an integration of the British and Nigerian curricula at the primary level.
Children are given the right support that will build their ability to express themselves, work independently as well as in a team, and understand/solve problems through lessons and activities on the 6 Cs of Education, namely:
Communication
Children are able to present information clearly and meaningfully, with good listening skills and articulation. They learn that communication can be informative, instructive, motivating and persuasive.
Critical thinking
It de-emphasises memorisation and helps children in solving real world problems. This is achieved through questioning techniques which prompts thinking and the rationalisation of information/content. Children make sense of the presented information and apply it to their everyday lives. Hence, they are able to think and respond when faced with a question, problem or challenge.
Collaboration
Collaboration encourages team building as children work together combining their personalities, talents and knowledge in achieving a common outcome.
Creativity
This is the ability to create something new or do an old thing in a new way using acquired knowledge. Children will be guided to be innovative.
Character
We are dedicated to helping young children become responsible, caring and contributing citizens. Character building addresses many tough issues in our nation and develops a positive climate. It is a part of our school’s culture. Character building reduces disciplinary issues, increases academic achievement for all learners and develops global citizens.
Citizenship
Children will know all about their environment (immediate and community) as well as their culture. It entails being abreast with national affairs and civic responsibilities.
With the 6 Cs of Education as part of our classroom practice, our content learning is enriched.
Our deployment of Scratch, a cutting-edge and revolutionary technology, will foster communication of ideas and enhance young children's creativity and problem-solving skills.
The subject/activity which we termed; Building from Scratch has a club we developed on the side known as ICreate. With Scratch, children can program their own interactive stories, games and animations and share their creations with others in the online community. Scratch will help young children to think creatively, reason systematically and work collaboratively and these are essential skills for life in the 21st century.
To further reinforce our normal French/language lessons, children will also have one-on-one access to an on-line, state-of-the-art language learning program.
