Early Childhood Curriculum:
The Elementary Curriculum at Raffles American School is carefully designed to develop foundational skills and foster a lifelong love of learning.
Our language arts program strongly emphasizes the development of key language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Through a balanced literacy approach, students engage in a variety of activities that enhance their comprehension, communication, and critical thinking abilities. We employ diverse instructional strategies to meet each student’s individual needs and ensure they develop strong literacy skills.
Numeracy is a core component of our daily curriculum. Students work to achieve a balance between understanding mathematical concepts and mastering procedural skills. Our approach to mathematics education emphasizes the development of sound mathematical practices, encouraging students to think logically, solve problems, and communicate their reasoning effectively. Practical, hands-on learning activities are integral to our math instruction, helping students see mathematics’s relevance in everyday life.
All subjects are taught using a student-centered approach that prioritizes practical, hands-on learning experiences. This method engages students actively in their education, fostering a deeper understanding and retention of knowledge. Our curriculum is designed to be interdisciplinary, allowing students to make connections between different subject areas and apply their learning in meaningful contexts.
Raffles American School recognizes the importance of digital literacy in the modern world, where technology is seamlessly integrated throughout the curriculum. Students use various digital tools and resources to enhance their learning, develop research skills, and create projects. Our technology-rich environment prepares students to navigate and succeed in a technologically advanced society.
Our Elementary Curriculum is comprehensive and dynamic, providing students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed academically and personally. Through rigorous academic instruction and engaging, hands-on learning experiences, we strive to cultivate well-rounded, confident, and capable learners.
“I like Raffles American School more than any other school because of all my new friends and the great teachers we have. Also I get to learn a lot about other people and their cultures, and they have a lot of fun activities for our family to do together. “
