OBJECTIVES:
We introduce young learners to a positive, engaging environment that fosters curiosity, creativity, and early academic skills.
FOCUS AREAS:
1. Early Cognitive Development: We focus on foundational literacy and numeracy through play, storytelling, songs, and interactive activities.
2. Moral and Social Skills: We encourage kindness, cooperation, sharing, and respect for others. Begin to nurture strong moral values.
3. Motor Skills Development: We introduce activities that enhance both fine and gross motor skills, such as drawing, cutting, building blocks, and outdoor play.
4. Emotional Growth: We support children in recognising and managing their emotions. Foster self-awareness, empathy, and positive relationships with peers and teachers.
5. Creativity and Exploration: Through arts, music, and outdoor activities, we encourage creative thinking and exploration. Children will discover the world around them and express themselves.
CURRICULUM APPROACH:
A. Blended Learning: Through the use of tablet computers, children access educational content, watch videos, and engage in fun, interactive tasks. This enhances their learning and helps them develop ideas in an easy, enjoyable way.
B. Interactive Learning: We use storybooks, songs, videos, and hands-on activities to engage students and promote learning through exploration and imagination.
C. Music and Basic Computer Skills: We introduce the students to music through songs and simple instruments. Begin basic computer skills like familiarising them with using devices and navigating educational apps.
ASSESSMENTS:
Informal observations, focusing on developmental milestones, social skills, and learning progress.
OBJECTIVES:
We build a strong academic foundation, develop critical thinking, and instil moral values, preparing students for the challenges of secondary school and life.
FOCUS AREAS:
1. Core Academic Subjects: We emphasise on core subjects—Math, Science, English, Social Studies and Tanzanian History—with a focus on literacy, cognition and numeracy skills.
2. Moral and Ethical Development: We encourage responsibility, honesty, and respect for others through classroom activities, discussions, and examples from history or literature.
3. Critical Thinking: We develop problem-solving and analytical thinking skills by introducing basic logical reasoning tasks, puzzles, and discussions.
4. Collaboration and Communication: We use teamwork-based projects and activities to encourage cooperative learning and effective communication skills.
5. Creativity and Innovation: We teach arts, music, and science experiments that stimulate creativity and innovative thinking.
CURRICULUM APPROACH:
A. Blended Learning: Students use laptop computers to engage in interactive quests, view videos, and complete activities that help them grasp core concepts and apply their knowledge creatively.
B. Music and Design: Continued exploration of music through group activities, singing, and simple instruments. Introduction to design thinking and creative expression.
C. Computer Skills and Coding: Basic computer skills, including how to navigate devices and applications. Introduction to basic coding concepts through fun, interactive apps that foster logical thinking.
ASSESSMENTS:
Regular tests, projects, and oral presentations to assess knowledge, critical thinking, and communication skills.
SKILLS DEVELOPMENT:
Language and Literacy: Build reading, writing, and comprehension skills through storytelling, phonics, reading clubs, and group discussions.
Numeracy and Logical Reasoning: Foster a strong understanding of numbers, basic operations, and problem-solving methods through engaging activities and real-life applications.
OBJECTIVES:
We prepare students for higher education by promoting intellectual independence, critical thinking, and the application of knowledge to solve real-world problems.
FOCUS AREAS:
1. Advanced Academic Subjects: We ensure an in-depth study of subjects such as Mathematics, Science, Literature, Social Sciences, and ICT. Emphasising on deepening knowledge and applying learning to real-world scenarios.
2. Critical Thinking and Analysis: We encourage students to question, analyse, and think critically about different viewpoints and problems. Teaching them to back up their arguments with evidence and logical reasoning.
3. Moral Leadership: We encourage students to take on leadership roles within the school and community, promoting social responsibility, ethical decision-making, and respect for diverse opinions.
4. Intellectual Independence: We develop self-directed learning habits by encouraging independent research, project-based work, and reflection on academic progress.
5. Personal Growth and Confidence: We focus on self-motivation, goal setting, time management, and resilience to help students thrive academically and personally.
CURRICULUM APPROACH:
A. Blended Learning with Quest Forward Learning: Students engage with educational quests, view subject-specific videos, and complete interactive activities through tablet computers. This approach allows them to apply concepts in creative and practical ways.
B. Music, Computer Skills, and Coding: Further develop musical skills through group performances and theory, while enhancing their coding abilities through specialized programs and design thinking activities.
C. Design Thinking: Emphasise design projects that require both creative and technical thinking, including coding projects, building websites, or developing apps.
ASSESSMENTS:
Comprehensive exams, written reports, presentations, and group projects to assess understanding, analytical abilities, and communication skills.
SKILLS DEVELOPMENT:
1. Advanced Critical Thinking: We encourage students to engage in debates, case studies, and discussions that challenge their perspectives and deepen their understanding.
2. Leadership and Collaboration: Students take part in leadership programs, student council activities, and group work that build communication, leadership, and teamwork skills.
3. Career and College Preparation: Workshops on time management, career paths, university applications, and interview preparation.
