ACADEMIC YEAR
The Elementary Section of the Victoryland Smart Schools runs the International Primary Curriculum, (IPC) the curriculum is a child-centered and teacher-friendly curriculum. It enables students to take responsibility for their learning by being involved in activities such as planning, researching, recording, interacting with teachers and other students, and assessing learning.
The IPC focuses on developing children’s learning through a structure based on learning goals which are made up of subject, personal and international goals. These goals are specific statements of what children should know, be able to do, or develop an understanding of. The goals are attained as the students explore the IPC of learning.
JUNIOR ELEMENTARY TRANSITION
During the Junior Elementary (Transition to Basic 2) education, we seek 7 things;
SENIOR ELEMENTARY (BASIC 3 TO 5)
Without losing sight of the initial objectives, the senior elementary stage extends the challenges offered. The curriculum becomes more specialized, with the addition of new knowledge and skill training as detailed below:
- The emphasis on the core skills continues, but increasingly, these skills are used to seek out information and solve problems.
- Specialist help also continues for those who have not yet achieved acceptable levels of skill.
- The use of new technologies in science and information and Communication Technology and the development of practical skills through Arts and crafts initiate the child into the modern world.
- The levels of demand in terms of self-discipline and personal organization are raised and responsibilities are increased at both individual and group levels.
- Cultural and environmental studies advance knowledge of the world with various projects reinforcing the set learning goals.
- A solid foundation is created at this level to ensure a smooth transition into secondary school.
