Middle Years

The Middle stage is a 5-year challenging curriculum framework that encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world.
The Middle stage provides a curriculum framework of academic challenge that encourages students to embrace and understand the connections between traditional subjects and the real world, and to become critical and reflective thinkers. Students are required to study their English and their mother tongue, a second language, humanities, sciences, mathematics, arts, physical education, and design.

What makes our Middle Stage unique?

We encourage international mindedness in our students, starting with a foundation in their own language and culture.
We encourage a positive attitude to learning by challenging students to solve problems, show creativity and resourcefulness, and participate actively in their communities.
We reflect real life by providing a framework that allows students to see the connections among the subjects themselves, and between the subjects and real issues.
We support the development of communication skills to encourage inquiry, understanding, language acquisition, and to allow student reflection and expression.
We emphasize the development of the whole student—physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically.
