Senior Elementary (Basic 3 to 5)

Without losing sight of the initial objectives, the senior elementary stage extends the challenges offered. The curriculum becomes more specialized, with the addition of new knowledge and skill training as detailed below:

The emphasis on the core skills continues, but increasingly, these skills are used to seek out information and solve problems.
Specialist help also continues for those who have not yet achieved acceptable levels of skill.
The use of new technologies in science and information and Communication Technology and development of practical skills through Arts and Craft, initiate the child into the modern world.
The levels of demand in terms of self-discipline and personal organization are raised and responsibilities are increased at both individual and group level.
Cultural and environmental studies advance knowledge of the world with various projects reinforcing the set learning goals.
A solid foundation is created at this level to ensure a smooth transition into the secondary school.
