KS3 & KS4: Pre and Semi Formal Curriculum
In order to offer a comprehensive and expansive learning experience, students in the Pre-Formal and Semi-Formal programs engage with subjects through a cross-curricular thematic approach. This approach is rooted in the spiral curriculum model, wherein students revisit essential skills and concepts throughout their educational journey. Each revisit serves to expand upon their previous learning and allows them to apply these skills in a broader array of situations. The thematic topics are designed to progressively deepen their knowledge and comprehension, starting from local and personal perspectives and gradually extending to encompass community and global contexts.
