Curriculum
The Keera-Pat International School has a curriculum basically patterned after the "Curriculum Frameworks and the Content Standards for California Public Schools" developed by the Curriculum Frameworks and Instructional Resource Division of the California Department of Education. This curriculum has been adopted by the California State Board of Education and is widely used in both public and private schools in the state of California, U.S.A.
The core academic subjects are Language Arts/English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Health and Physical Education. Values Education is integrated in Social Studies.
The main thrust of the curriculum is the acquisition of basic cognitive and social skills needed for success in life and the advanced knowledge and skills that will make the students competitive with graduates of the best educational institutions anywhere in the world. In order to attain this, every student is provided with high quality educational opportunities. At the same time, assessments are made to measure student knowledge pursuant to standards set for each grade level in every subject area. The details of the curriculum including textbooks, references, equipment and instructional materials are found in the Appendices.
Guiding Principles
| 1. |
The focus of the teaching-learning process is the child. Hence, the curriculum revolves around the holistic development of the child to prepare him/her for life in a diverse global society. |
| 2. |
Every child has a fair and equitable opportunity to obtain the highest quality education aimed not only towards the goal of academic excellence but also the development of the social values of integrity, morality, discipline and civic-mindedness. |
| 3. |
All students irrespective of race, religion or gender are afforded the opportunity to participate in a cohesive and well-articulated system of academic preparation that will enable them to excel in roles as family members, community members and leaders and productive citizens of the nation and the world. |
| 4. |
Learning is both an individual and a social process, and children learn best when curricular activities and materials support differences in their social, emotional, physical and cognitive development; recognition of individual differences develop self-identity and help them to accept and appreciate the ways in which others may differ from themselves. |
| 5. |
Students need life skills that are designed to develop inquiry, problem-solving and decision-making abilities for them to become independent lifelong learners so that they may improve the quality of their own lives and the lives of others. |
| 6. |
A clean and safe environment with modern facilities that support instruction is necessary for effective teaching and learning. |
| 7. |
Multiple intelligence is taken into consideration in organizing curricular activities in order to provide students with a balanced education. |
| 8. |
Experiential learning enhances the implementation of all curricular and co-curricular activities. |
| 9. |
Entry-level assessment, progress-monitoring assessment and summative assessment gather evidence about students' progress toward achieving objectives as measured in relation to the standards set in the curriculum. |
| 10. |
All curricular and co-curricular activities including instructional materials and support services are aligned with the philosophy, vision, mission, objectives of the school and the standards set for each grade level. |
