Stellar International School: This institution is a beacon of global educational excellence, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration in students aged 3 to 18. It offers a holistic, innovative approach to education, integrating the best of global educational research and practices. The school's curriculum is designed to prepare students for the future, equipping them with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in the 21st century. It is a place where future leaders are nurtured, with the vision to produce top-performing students who will become world leaders.
For Early Years students (ages 3 to 5), they use the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) from the UK and Key To Learning curriculum, which provide motivating, engaging, and fun learning experiences that open up a world of wonder for the little ones.
For Primary and Secondary students (ages 6 to 16), they use the Cambridge International Curriculum and Singapore Curriculum for Mathematics and Science, which provide a global standard for education and equip students with a strong foundation in core subjects while also mentoring them in various other subjects. They also integrate the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), which is a thematic and child-centred curriculum that broadens students’ knowledge through a global perspective and fosters their understanding of their world.
For Upper Secondary students (ages 15 to 18), they prepare them for the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) examination offered by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) from The University Of Cambridge, UK, which is an internationally recognised qualification that allows students to focus on subjects based on their strengths and interests and provides ideal preparation for any advanced education or study placement.
Some of the specific global educational research and practices that they incorporate are:
1. Progressive pedagogy, which is a student-centred approach that emphasises active learning, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and social justice.
2. Metacognition, which is the awareness and understanding of one’s own thinking and learning processes, and how to use strategies to improve them.
3. Primary education best practices, which are evidence-based methods and techniques that have been proven to be effective in enhancing student learning outcomes.
4. Key Stages, which are sets of skills and knowledge students aim to develop at a particular stage in their education, with assessments designed for each key stage to measure how they perform and learn in specific areas of study.
Some of the ways they foster global citizenship and cultural awareness in their students are:
1. Providing a multicultural and multilingual environment that exposes students to different languages, cultures, and perspectives.
2. Incorporating international goals in their learning goals, which are designed to help students develop an awareness of themselves as global citizens and respect for other people’s cultures, beliefs, values, and opinions.
