Junior School

A ROBUST CURRICULUM

At LF, we follow the principles of Visible Learning to teach our learners the tools of success. The cornerstone of our work is based on the NESA curriculum, internationally known for its academic breadth and rigour, while meeting international standards.

We aim to build numerate and literate youngsters, who are critical and creative thinkers, determined to deal with others respectfully and ethically.

WHY CHOOSE OUR JUNIOR SCHOOL?

We balance the rigorous Cambridge curriculum with stimulating, fun and investigative learning experiences.

DEVELOP CREATIVITY & CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS

We teach students how to use Visible Thinking Routines in their daily work, to encourage the use of different thinking skills to help students think out of the box. Some of the thinking strategies used include Think-Pair-Share, See-Think-Wonder and more.

FOSTER INDEPENDENT LEARNING

The Visible Learning approach teaches students “how to learn”. Students understand the value of having clear goals and expectations, seek feedback from others to improve and know exactly what they need to do to achieve success. Students take control of their own learning.

CULTIVATE COLLABORATIVE LEARNING SKILLS

Our open spaces and break out areas encourage students to work collaboratively, developing the collaborative and social skills critical for their future success.

OUR JUNIOR SCHOOL STRUCTURE

From Year 1, each year level has their own highly trained and qualified assistant teacher, which enables rich teaching opportunities under the guidance of our expatriate staff.
Our class sizes allow flexibility and dynamism in our differentiation for learners of all dispositions.

ASSESSMENT

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

Your child will undertake standardised diagnostic assessments to help identify their current level of understanding.

ONGOING ASSESSMENT

We close the gaps identified through the formative assessment. The learning and assessment cycle continues through observation, projects, assignments, tests, quizzes and presentations.

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

Class-based assessments will be conducted throughout the year. External examinations include the International Schools Assessment (Years 3 to 10). Standardised diagnostic assessments are completed twice per year to gauge individual academic growth.

Primary Checkpoint Exam

Cambridge Primary Checkpoint is a series of assessments for use in the final year of primary education. It enables schools to obtain an international benchmark of learner performance to identify and address learning needs.

JUNIOR SCHOOL FACILITIES

At LF, our Junior School classrooms are welcoming, light-filled spaces filled with a variety of tools and equipment to help students learn and express themselves.

Each classroom overlooks a shared, open learning space, featuring computers, small libraries and comfortable seating. Called ‘break out spaces’, these areas perform a variety of functions, but are most frequently used for differentiation and cross grade grouping.
