Beliefs about Curriculum at HKIS
- Curriculum must be based on an agreed upon philosophy, current research, principles of learning and effective teaching practices.
- The curriculum must be student centered – in other words the curriculum is what the students should learn, not how teachers will teach.
- All areas of curricular work reflect the coordination and articulation of learning from Reception 1 to 12th Grade. Close attention is given to the transition years: from Grade 2 to 3, Grade 5 to 6, and Grade 8 to 9.
- Curriculum needs to enable a student to attain HKIS’s Student Learning Results.
- Curriculum development is a continuous process.
