Curriculum
1st to 5th grade
Our Elementary Years curriculum is designed for learners in the 1st to 5th grade. It is structured around the BNCC (Base Nacional Comum Curricular Brasileira) and the IPC (International Primary Curriculum), an English language curriculum based on the Project Methodology.
This integrated programme emphasises an investigative approach to learning. Typically, elementary teachers will raise a hypothesis of a topic and enlist the class to use their skills in critical thinking and comparisons to utilise prior knowledge and make informed observations. Elementary lessons offer opportunities to consolidate learning, referencing other subject material to aid understanding.
Elementary School subjects include: Portuguese; Language Arts (English); Mathematics; IPC/Science; History/Geography; LIV (Socio-Emotional Intelligence); Visual Arts; Creative Tech; Music; Drama and Physical Education and Sports.
