Grounded in UK standards and the US Common Core, our curriculum also incorporates the International Baccalaureate (IB PYP) and the Australian curriculum.

Biome-themed units

Each unit is a different biome, meaning that students' learning relates directly to a different place in the natural world (think desert, savanna, rainforest).

Connecting academic concepts with real-world examples gives context to their learning. Kiddos could be practicing multiplication on the ocean floor, or learning about phonics deep within the jungle!

Microcredentials

Your child's progress is tracked and communicated to them (and you!) on a daily basis. Through projects, games, reflections, conversations, and hands-on activities, our students are continually assessed through the use of micro-credentials.
Teachers gain deep insights on your child's progress so that lessons can be tailored to their needs.

The school day

Your kiddo will follow a similar routine each day so that they know what to expect.

We incorporate active and hands-on activities to keep our students engaged, and we balance group activities with independent learning.

Master Teachers

Our Master Teachers all have a postgraduate degree and at least five years of experience as educators. With only 7 students each, our teachers can develop genuine connections with their students, intentionally getting to know them as individuals. 

Students will typically also be matched with a Teacher Assistant, who will support them with independent learning activities during breakout sessions.

Grounded in UK standards with elements of the US Common Core, International Baccalaureate (IB PYP) and the Australian curriculum weaved in then broken down into microcredentials (but we’ll get to that).

Biome themed classes

Each unit is a different biome, meaning students' learning relates directly to a living habitat. Connecting abstract concepts with real-world examples gives context to their learning - we put their learning into action! Kiddos could be learning multiplication on the ocean floor, or types of insects deep within the jungle!

Microcredentials

Students are continually assessed in a natural, non-intrusive way (think projects, games, reflections, and conversations).
This, along with the small class sizes,  gives teachers deep insight and constant feedback so that lessons can be tailored to each student's needs, meaning that each child gets precisely the education they need.

Sample schedule

Sample schedule

9.00 - 9.20am | SEL
Students engage in a morning meeting and learn or practise social-emotional skills throughout the day.
 
9.20 - 9.40am | Reading
Students read for pleasure and share what they have read with each other, supporting a love of reading.
 
9.45 - 10.05am | Phonics skills
Students learn explicit phonics skills based on their level of progress– this could involve recognising letter sounds or exploring spelling patterns.

10.10 - 10.30am | Phonics consolidation
Students use the explicit skills they have learnt and employ these skills independently (with support from a teaching assistant on hand if needed). Their activities could range from finding items around the house that begin with the letter sound practised to playing a game that assesses their phonics understanding.
10.40 - 11.00am | Numeracy Skills
Students learn explicit numeracy skills based on their personal level of progress – this could involve learning to count to 10 or understanding how to use column strategy to solve multi-digit addition and subtraction problems. We endeavour to connect the learning in numeracy to the biome topic wherever possible.
11.05 - 11.25 | Numeracy consolidation
Students take the explicit skills learnt in numeracy and consolidate with independent activities. This could involve activities such as trying to jump across a room in exactly 10 jumps, solving mathematical puzzles, or working toward the mathematical components of the topic’s project.
11.35 - 11.55am | Literary skills
Students learn explicit reading and writing skills based on their individual level of progress. This session is closely tied to the biome topic/unit of learning and explores concepts such as writing genres, understanding the author's perspective, and delving into how texts are formed.
12.00 - 12.20pm | Literacy consolidation
Students take the explicit skills they have learnt and apply them through topic-driven, purposeful activities. This could involve activities such as finding items around the house that rhyme or drafting their own narrative stories.
12.20 - 1.20pm | Lunch
1.20 - 1.40pm | Topic
Students engage in Arts, Social Sciences, and Technical Sciences skills to explore the focus topic or unit. Our units are thematic, and students explore specific projects within these broad themes. 

1.45 - 2.05pm | Topic consolidation
Students apply what they're learning in all subjects to their project (with a teaching assistant on hand if needed). An example could be using what they have learnt about testing materials to test others they think could be helpful for their needs. This session is all about working toward the completion of their topic project.
2.05 - 2.30 | Playground
Students interact with one another in a game-oriented manner. This is supervised by a teaching assistant and primarily guided by students' wants and interests.
