Curriculum
Starland curriculum provides a strong foundation for extensive learning, encourages critical and analytical thinking, problem solving, decision making and respect for individuals. Since students learn in different ways, effective education is our first priority. To realize this objective, intellectual, social, physical and emotional progress must be attained with high standards through integrative learning. Such learning including values is a unified knowledge which is integrated in all subjects. By way of integration, students will experience a balanced and meaningful learning depending on how the student adopts to the academic environment. The school has designed learning programs, specifically advance and regular modules that are made to fit the genuine potential of each child to learn. This is maximized along with efficient and creative teaching.
The entrance assessment is essential to determine which program is applicable for a new student. Moreover, individualized evaluation by the school directress is conducted twice a year to identify which students belong to the advance or regular class level.
