Our Curriculum - Arts Kidz International

What is the Arts Kidz Curriculum?

The Arts Kidz curriculum is designed to provide children with a well-rounded education that covers not only essential academic areas such as literacy and numeracy but also values languages, technology and the Arts in education.

Our programme is run by trained specialist teachers who work with the children each week in areas such as Literacy, Numeracy, Visual Arts, Chinese Speech and Drama, Violin, Pianica, Music and Movement and Mindfulness.

A combination of trusted curriculum content and solid approach strategies, our curriculum draws its roots from a number of sources including:

The International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC)
MOE’s Nurturing Early Learners Framework
The Project Approach
Growing with Maths (K1-K2, in conjunction with MOE mathematics curriculum)
Jolly Phonics

Why Focus On The Arts?

The Arts (visual arts – making marks, painting, drawing; performing arts – music, movement, theatre, dance; and literary arts – stories, poetry and theatre) is often neglected in many schools in favour of heavy, academically-driven, rote-learning based programmes. What these programs fail to recognise is that not only do the Arts provide an important creative outlet for children, it is also a springboard to intellectual discovery and to many academic learning opportunities.

What Is The IEYC

The International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) is a research-based curriculum recognising global best practice in early childhood education and the developmental needs of pre-schoolers.
It integrates learning under themes and is designed to meet the needs of children growing up within an international environment.

How Do Projects Work?

Each term, the teachers choose an overall, broad-based topic. This topic allows the Lead Teachers the flexibility to focus on an aspect of that topic of interest to the children. The teacher’s then facilitate the project, writing learning objectives into the context of the project content. Literacy, numeracy, scientific processing skills, geography, social and personal skills, can all be woven into the fabric of the project.
