Pupils enter the Pre-Prep phase in Year 1 and remain part of the phase until they complete Year 5. In the Pre-Prep phase pupils are assigned a Class Teacher who teaches many of the core lessons. Depending on the year group, this is supplemented by teaching from Specialist Teachers in subject areas such as Drama, Art, Music, Mandarin, Computing and PE.

 

学生在一年级开始进入小学部学习，直到读完五年级。小学阶段的学生将被分配一名班主任，由班主任负责教授大多数核心课程。根据不同年级，我们的专业教师也将教授戏剧、艺术、音乐、中文、计算机和体育等学科，对核心课程进行补充。

 

We believe in a flexible approach adapting the curriculum to meet the needs of our individual and international children. The core subjects of Maths and English are distinct subjects and taught separately in the Pre-Prep phase, but they also often link to specific units of work. Units themselves are normally connected with subjects such as History, Geography, Art and Design Technology. Depending on the curriculum area being studied, Science may either be studied as a distinct subject or closely linked with the unit of work. Computing features in all areas of the curriculum as well as being a skill-based lesson in its own right.

 

我们采用灵活的方法来调整课程，以满足不同学生和外籍儿童的需求。核心科目中差异较大的科目，如数学和英语，在小学阶段分开教授，同时也经常在某些学习主题中相互结合。学习主题通常与历史、地理、艺术和设计技术等科目有关。根据课程的具体内容，科学既可以作为一个单独的学科进行学习，也可以与主题式学习相结合。计算机课程的内容会涉及所有领域的科目，同时这门课本身也是一门技术课程。

 

Above all, in every area we encourage our pupils to question, to investigate, to be creative and to have the self-confidence to communicate with their peers and teachers. Our goal is to inspire the love of learning, which will carry them from Pre-Prep to Upper School and beyond.

 

最重要的是，在每个领域，我们都鼓励学生提出质疑，进行调查，发挥创意，并自信地与同学和老师沟通。我们的目标是激发学生对学习的热爱，并将这份热爱延续到中学阶段及未来的生活。
