Montessori is our signature programme, which focuses on using the five senses. In AHI, we provide more than the Montessori method, for the details of our curriculum, please refer to: https://annehill.school/curriculum/#preschool
Montessori promotes independent skills and foundation necessary for primary years. We also incorporate other programmes and activities beyond Montessori.
We believe that students learn English easily through the curriculum and the learning environment. Many of our students do not have English as their first language. students are exposed to English learning at all times and they interact with their peers and teachers in English. CCA for English Learning will be offered to K1 students from 4-5 pm for academic year 2022-2023. For students who enroll in our school late or for students who need more support in learning English, we encourage parents to let the child enrol in the Speech and Drama course available in AHE to develop the child’s interest in learning English. |
The emphasis is on hands-on and inquiry-based learning, which lay the foundation for conceptual understanding and application in real life situations. This includes laying the foundation for conceptual understanding and application in real life situations. Subjects taught include: English, Mathematics, Science, Information and Communications Technology (ICT), PE, Music, and 2nd Language. Within the IPC, students will learn from a variety of topics, through which they will study Geography, History, Art, Technology, International, and Health and Wellbeing.
AHI Primary School does not follow Montessori curriculum but will follow the Cambridge International Primary School Programme and International Primary Curriculum (IPC). Nevertheless, the philosophy of Montessori – independent skills and hands-on learning – are emphasised in the primary teaching and learning as well. This especially applies to IPC because it adopts a self-inquiry and hands-on learning approach.
The Cambridge International Primary Programme complemented by the International Primary Curriculum enable students at AHI to develop their knowledge and skills in core subjects and across disciplines. The Cambridge International Primary Programme is adopted across 1800 primary schools in over 95 countries worldwide.
The focus in Primary School is on values development and building the foundation for literacy and numeracy skills. With a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy skills and with the right values and learning attitude, AHI is confident that the child is able to keep up with the education system of other countries.
In most instances, students relocating to another country will have to undergo school-specific assessment tests. Given that we provide a high quality programme that is aligned with international standards, students will be adequately prepared back in the home country.
The IPC originates from the U.K. https://fieldworkeducation.com/curriculums/primary-years

In addition, we have our own internal assessment to ensure that the students meet the age-level expectations.
