Curriculum & what your child learns
A real curriculum, taught through real projects
Our job is simple: teach the skills of the future without compromising on the credentials that get your child into what's next.
Your child learns core subjects such as Math, Science, ELA, and Computational Thinking. They learn these through projects, which push them to build the other things that matter just as much: emotional resilience, decision making, and the ability to handle a problem they've never seen before.
We're Cambridge accredited. By Grade 10, your child is ready for IGCSE.
The two halves of what we teach
Skills are the focus.
Subjects are the engine.
Durable Skills
Independence, curiosity, collaboration, communication, the ability to disagree well and recover from being wrong, and a genuine love of learning. These are what we're obsessed with, because they're what keep a child going long after the marks are forgotten.
Subjects
Math, Science, ELA and Computational Thinking, taught seriously, with outcomes genuinely tracked against clear objectives and fed back in a way your child can act on. They're not the destination; they're how a child gets there. If your child finishes a year having fallen more in love with learning, the academic outcomes follow.
How skills are actually built
Some skills we teach out loud. Others a child grows into.
Durable skills aren't a poster on the wall. They're addressed two ways, explicitly, as things we name and practise, and implicitly, through the collaborative projects.
Named and practised
Some skills we teach directly. How to give feedback that actually helps, and how to take it without flinching, for example, modelled, practised, and revisited until it becomes second nature.
Grown through project work
Others can't be lectured into a child. The confidence to share a half-formed thought in class. Learning not to cut a teammate off. These grow through real communication and collaboration, project after project, in a pod small enough that every child has to take part.
The subjects we teach
Five subjects, taught through real projects
We keep the slate deliberately focused, four academic subjects, plus Durable Skills as a core subject in its own right.
Math
Pricing and margins in a business project; compound interest when planning savings; trigonometry through shadow-and-height measurement.
Science
Chemistry through making chocolate; physics and biology through designing a colony on Mars.
ELA
Narrative and voice by writing and recording a fable; persuasion by pitching an idea to a "CEO."
Computational Thinking
Logic, algorithms and problem-solving, used to build real things children actually ship, not just syntax drills.
How the brain learns
Grounded in learning science, not legacy practices
Everything here is built on well established research, not on how schools have always done things. Our curriculum advisor Dr Brian Johnsrud from Stanford works directly with us on this. Four ideas do most of the heavy lifting.
Active recall
Through tasks such as answering a quick poll, explaining to a friend, drawing a concept map, making an explainer video etc. children strengthen their long term recall of key concepts.
Spaced repetition
Key ideas come back on purpose, spaced out over time, so they stick instead of fading the week after a test.
Inquiry-based learning
Children start from a real question and dig for the answer, rather than being handed the answer first and a problem second.
Peer learning
Explaining an idea to a teammate is one of the fastest ways to truly understand it, so children teach each other, every day.
How we know it's working
We track outcomes, and turn them into feedback your child can act on
Project-based doesn't mean unmeasured. We track and measure learning outcomes against clear objectives, then translate them into specific, actionable feedback, for your child, and for you.
Measured against objectives
Every project maps to specific learning objectives. We track where a child actually is on each one, not just a single number on a report card.
Actionable feedback
Feedback names the next step, what to practise, what to try differently, instead of just handing over a score and moving on.
Continuous, not a verdict
Progress is a conversation that keeps going, not a one-off label. A child always knows where they stand and what the next step looks like.
We don't believe everything can be mastered by every student, and we won't pretend otherwise. What stays constant is honest feedback and a clear understanding of how each child can improve. That conversation never stops.
The logistics
Accreditation, certificates & re-entry
We're a Cambridge-accredited school. We prepare students to take up the IGCSE exam.
In case you want to switch schools at some point, we issue marksheets and transfer certificates.

- Cambridge-accredited, recognised internationally
- Marksheets & Transfer Certificates issued
- IGCSE board exam at Grade 10, widely accepted
