CBC/8-4-4 Curriculum
Kindergarten Experience
At Stepping Stones, we are passionate about early childhood development and our Kindergarten (Playgroup to Pre-Primary 2) admits children from 2 to 6 years. Playtime forms a significant part of our learning in Kindergarten because we understand how crucial it is in nurturing well rounded and adjusted children. Having play as a central part of learning helps children develop physical, cognitive, and social skills and improves their language.
In the playgroup, children first learn “how to learn.” They begin to form their attitudes toward school and to see themselves as learners. As they grow, they continue to learn through play in the same ways, with the guidance of their teachers. They experiment with the properties of matter at the sand and water tables. They learn phonics when they sing songs together. They master important physics concepts like balance and stability as they build blocks at the block center.
Lower Primary Experience: Grade 1-6
For our lower primary, we have incorporated e-learning extensively as part of our plan to develop leaders that are versatile and agile in environments that are changing quickly and unpredictably. We believe that a conversance with technology aids students in their learning by opening them up to more innovative ways of thinking, learning, and executing what they learn.
Junior Secondary Experience: Grade 7-9
Our junior secondary provides a robust academic environment that encourages project learning to develop critical and analytical thinking in line with our focus to develop wholesome, confident, and curious leaders who are adaptable to the fast-changing nature of the world and are able to challenge the status quo and offer creative solutions.
We advocate for independent thinking while encouraging teamwork and in addition to our emphasis on academic excellence, we are keen on developing wholesome leaders and we encourage an exploration of their talents in sports, music, and creative arts through various clubs and activities available at the school. In addition to these clubs, we also have a thriving business club that is nurturing the next generation of entrepreneurs, and a mentorship program allows pupils in groups to gain access to valuable life skills through an assigned mentor.
