OUR PROGRAMS
EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS
INTERNATIONAL - ENGLISH LANGUAGE IMMERSION
Our Four-Year-Old Pre-Kindergarten Program and our Five-Year-Old Grade One Prepratory Programs utilize The Creative Curriculum® to ensure our students learning opportunities are maximized throughout the day. The Creative Curriculum®, a comprehensive, research-based curriculum, features exploration and discovery as a way of learning, enabling children to develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical-thinking skills. Classroom activities and teaching strategies are connected to research-based objectives for development and learning, enabling each child to find their own individualized path to success. The Creative Curriculum® is based on 38 learning objectives for development and learning that focus on all the areas that are most important for school success: social-emotional, cognitive, math, literacy, physical, language, social studies, science and technology, and the arts. These objectives are built into every activity that happens in the classroom, engaging children in purposeful play, building on their natural, curiosity and helping them to build skills of observation, connection, problem-solving, and communication. Our five-year-old classes build on the skills they developed in our pre-kindergarden program and continue to develop academic, interpersonal and socio-emotional skills that will help them succeed in elementary school and in all other areas of their lives.

INTERNATIONAL - ENGLISH & KOREAN INTEGRATION
In addition to our International English-Language Immersion program, in August 2023, we will be launching an integrated language program Korean students who need a little more support before entering an immersive English-language environment, or for Korean families who would like their child to develop their academic language abilities in both English and Korean. This program will blend our international Creative Curriculum® classes taught by a certified native-English speaking teacher with "mirrored" support classes that will help students grow and develop their academic skills in both languages.
ELEMENTARY PROGRAM (1 - 5)
In our Elementary Program, students build upon the foundational literacy and math skills they learned in Kindergarten and begin to use skills of inquiry to explore the world around them in greater depth. In Grades 1 - 5, students progress in literacy from learning to read, to reading to learn. They acquire greater numeracy skills and can understand more complicated math concepts. They gain skills and knowledge in science and social studies that they will build upon in the middle grades. In special classes, elementary students are introduced to foundational art, music and physical education skills and given the opportunity to develop their own talents. They also grow in their ability to learn in a group environment, develop more complex social skills and begin to develop independent critical thinking skills. Read more about our CURRICULUM HERE.
MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM (6 - 8)
Our Middle School Program continues to focus on important literacy skills including fluency, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, reading comprehension and writing across all subjects. In math, science and social studies classes, Middle School students begin to consider real world application of problem solving skills and utilize research, writing, and critical thinking skills as they develop their knowledge in these areas. In their special classes, students develop their skill and talents, with the opportunity to try new things and grow creatively in a safe environment. In Middle School, students begin to develop the organization, self-discipline, personal responsibility they will need to succeed in High School. Read more about our CURRICULUM HERE.
HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM (GRADE 9)
In high school, students are building their resume for University and beyond. Our high school students continue to build on the strong academic foundation they developed in Middle School. Following the American Common Core Standards and incorporating Advanced Placement (AP) courses (available in grades 10-12), our high school classes provide students with subject specific knowledge, academic skills and academic and artistic experiences that will help them on their chosen life and career path. High school students have opportunities to explore personal interests, develop career specific skills and build an academic transcript that will provide them with access to university programs around the world.
