Starland curriculum provides a strong foundation for extensive learning. It develops critical and analytical thinking, problem solving, decision making and moral values formation. Since students learn in different ways, inclusive 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 in all subjects. By way of integration, students will experience a balanced and holistic learning. 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.

PRESCHOOL learner takes advanced lessons in preparation for Grade 1, learns to read long stories (short/long vowels) with comprehension, long words with consonant blends, sight words, cursive writing, vocabulary words, performs the basic operations on addition and subtraction of 3 – digit numbers (with carrying), multiplication and division of one-digit number, answers simple problem solving, and counts from one to one thousand. At this level, the basic of geography is also introduced to instill in the minds of the learners love and appreciation of the world. Values education is also integrated in all subjects. Foreign Languages are introduced in the second semester of the school year with basic conversational drills in Nihongo and Spanish.

Key Learning Areas

    2. Writing Skills: Cursive writing and vocabulary development.
    3. Mathematics:
      • Addition and subtraction of three-digit numbers with carrying
      • Multiplication and division of one-digit numbers
      • Problem-solving
    4. Basic Geography: Introduction to foster appreciation and love for the world.

ELEMENTARY learner develops the fundamental skills, attitudes, and values that are essential for personal development, further enables him/her to contribute to a growing and diverse environment. A Grade 1 learner is exposed in Journalism work to develop his/her skill in writing by construction of sentences using the correct grammar, broaden their vocabularies, extend ability to think and develop communication skills and self-esteem by speaking in English at all times. At this level, the learner is also trained to write down words through dictation with the correct spelling of the words to measure retention. In Mathematics, the learner gains knowledge of the world of numbers and their functions through actual materials and mental computation involving basic operations. In Science, he/she performs simple experiments and applies the basic knowledge and concepts learned through Science Research Project (SRP) – for grades 4 to 6; moreover, the learner’s Scientific and critical abilities are enhanced through Robotics from as young as grade one level.

Key Learning Areas

    1. Journalism & Communication:
      • Sentence construction using correct grammar.
      • Vocabulary expansion and critical thinking.
      • Development of communication skills and self-esteem by speaking English at all times.
    2. Writing & Spelling: Dictation exercises to improve word retention and spelling accuracy.
    3. Mathematics:
      • Understanding numbers and their functions.
      • Application of basic operations through actual materials and mental computation.
    4. Science & Research:
      • Performing simple experiments to apply basic scientific concepts.
      • Engaging in Science Research Projects (SRP) for Grades 4 to 6.
      • Enhancing scientific and critical thinking abilities through Robotics, starting as early as Grade 1

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL learner (Grades 7 to 10) continues to master the fundamental training and live up the values learned as he pursues his goals to gain extensive education in preparation for college and chosen field of work. Aside from the core subjects and as part of the curriculum, Journalism and Speech classes are offered as supplemental learning areas to develop intensively writing and communication skills. He also undergoes training in public speaking and extemporaneous speech/debate and community service as basic requirements in English Communication Skills (ECS) as supplemental subjects. In addition to other subjects, the basic conversational drills and activities are enhanced in Foreign Languages such as Nihongo and Spanish. In Mathematics, he takes advance lessons to further develop and enhance his analytical and computational skills. In Science, he prepares investigatory and exploratory projects to gain additional knowledge as well as experience likewise enhance his Scientific and critical abilities through Robotics.
