SDG
Curriculum
Our dynamic Montessori+ curriculum is enriched with heuristic and pedagogical approaches across ten key domains. Designed to enhance curiosity, critical thinking, and global citizenship, our program integrates the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to cultivate global awareness and responsibility. Each curriculum aspect—from language and math to the arts and sciences—promotes hands-on exploration and collaborative learning. We aim to equip every student to excel and make a positive global impact, preparing them for lifelong success in a nurturing and innovative environment.
Language & Communication:
Our approach fosters early literacy and communication skills, crucial for expressing thoughts and ideas effectively. Children participate in activities like phonetic analysis, creative storytelling, and interactive reading sessions, which bolster language acquisition and promote a lifelong passion for reading and learning.
Mathematical Thinking:
We provide tactile learning experiences with materials that visually and physically represent mathematical concepts, helping children grasp complex ideas such as numbers, patterns, and operations. This hands-on approach is instrumental in developing foundational skills that support logical thinking and innovation.
Science & Sensory:
Children delve into the scientific method, engaging in experiments and sensory activities that encourage curiosity and observational skills. Topics such as botany, zoology, and physics are explored through practical experiments, fostering a deeper understanding of the world and a commitment to sustainable practices.
Social Studies &
Global Citizenship:
Our curriculum introduces students to a variety of cultures and communities, enhancing their understanding of global diversity. Through lessons on history, geography, and societal norms, children learn about the significance of empathy, respect, and civic responsibility in fostering peaceful and inclusive societies.
Physical Education &
Well-being:
Our physical education program is designed to be engaging and inclusive, promoting physical fitness and teamwork through activities like sports, dance, and yoga. These activities not only improve motor skills but also teach children the importance of health and wellness, encouraging habits that contribute to a healthy lifestyle.
Technology:
We integrate technology thoughtfully, using it to enhance educational materials and classroom interactions. Students learn to use technology as a tool for research, creativity, and communication, while also understanding its role in modern society and its impact on sustainability.
Social & Emotional Development:
Social and emotional learning is central to our approach, with activities designed to help children develop empathy, manage emotions, and build relationships. Lessons include collaborative games, conflict resolution techniques, and mindfulness practices that encourage a healthy mental and emotional outlook.
Visual & Performing Arts:
Art education in our curriculum allows children to explore various artistic disciplines, from painting and sculpture to music and drama. These activities foster creativity, improve motor skills, and offer emotional benefits, enabling students to express themselves and their unique perspectives through art.
Engineering &
Design Thinking:
Our engineering curriculum includes activities that promote problem-solving and creativity. Children work on projects that require them to design, build, and evaluate structures or machines, skills that are crucial for future innovation and contributions to society.
Second Language
Acquisition & Intercultural Understanding:
In the language-rich environment of our curriculum, children naturally acquire a second language through daily interaction and structured lessons. Emphasizing conversational practice and cultural immersion, this domain enhances cognitive flexibility and cultural awareness among students.
Our comprehensive curriculum not only prepares children for academic achievements but also instills a deep sense of global citizenship and responsibility towards sustainable development. By embedding these global goals into our teaching practices, we equip our students to become thoughtful, proactive members of their communities.
