PRIMARY SCHOOL

The Primary School teaches the following subjects:
English Literacy:

English classes build a solid foundation in the important areas of Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening. Using our internationally recognized phonics programme, we provide our students with a systematic and logical English improvement programme. Language Art builds a foundation for learning English through presentations and discussions for a deeper understanding of language, vocabulary development, Show and Tell, and other subjects.

Mathematics:

Math classes challenge learners with hands-on activities and real-world problem-solving. Learners develop strategies for finding answers to problems through engaging and intuitive lessons that connect math concepts.

Science:

The curriculum covers all fundamental disciplines, including biology, chemistry and physics.  At IB Arthur School, we take the scientific process very seriously and encourage our learners to develop the habit of being logical, experimenting and studying.

Arts and Design:

Using various forms of media, students develop self-expression and imagination through science, social, and seasonal crafts and activities.

Programming and Robotics:

Robotic and programming lessons provide the basis for project-based learning to research and engineer solutions to real-world problems. The programme is tied to other subjects being explored at the same time.

Computing:

Students develop their keyboarding skills and learn how to operate computer functions. These classroom activities are tied to real-world concepts so students can advance their proficiency to higher grades. We encourage parents to acquire laptops for their learners. So that they can practise at home. We also encourage parents to manage their learners’ screen time

Professional instructors are in charge of PE and Sports classes. PE covers a wide range of topics such as balance, body awareness, movement, body coordination, free running and tumbling. The Sports discipline includes football and ping pong.

Music:

In an activity-based, play-based, holistic musical activity, a professional music teacher teaches learners the knowledge and skills of beats and tempos, loud and soft sounds, high and low ranges, and the origins and timbres of music.

Global Perspectives:

Students begin by learning about themselves, expanding their horizons to see the world around them, and learning the fundamental skills they need to learn more about these topics in the future.

The maximum class size is 20. We believe that keeping classes small allows our teachers to truly understand how each student learns best. Small class sizes allow us to get to know all of our families well and develop close partnerships between school and home.
