Nursery Programme
The Nursery Programme is offered to children ages 2.6 - 4. English is taught to these children in a playful manner, including rhymes, songs, games, story-telling, etc in a friendly, informal and encouraging atmosphere. Teachers should lovingly stimulate the talents and interests of the youngest learners and teach them the English language and pre-school concepts and skills.
Our pre-school curriculum should provide stimulating activities for the development of language skills, math and logical skills, gross motor and fine motor skills, social skills and musical skills. At this level the use of worksheets and other time wasting strategies is strongly discouraged!
In addition to a stimulating classroom environment, children are offered a secure and friendly school playground incorporating sensopathic centres and opportunities for gross motor development.
The preparation class provides a more structured instruction in preparatory reading and writing skills, early numeracy skills, science and social studies, preparing the young learners for entering the first grade. This year serves as an ideal transition between the pre-school and elementary school years. Again the use of formal worksheets and passive activities is strongly discouraged!
As a part of their curriculum, these young learners also participate in physical education, music, arts and drama classes.
The Key Stage 1 (KS1) and Key Stage 2 (KS2) sections follow the National Curriculum of England and Wales. This curriculum has been adapted to the Zambian context and gives the teacher freedom to make alterations when necessary.
The curriculum of the Primary School includes Numeracy (Mathematics), Science, Literacy (English), French, PSHE, History, Geography, Science, Music, Art and Crafts, Physical Education, and Information Technology.
The curriculum of the Primary School includes Cambridge International Examinations (CIE). Subjects include: Numeracy, Science and Literacy.
