Learning Program
Our academic program caters to students ages 6 months to 18 years in a Creche through Senior High system divided into four divisions-
Preschool- Creche to PreK 4/5
Primary- Kindergarten to 5th Grade
Junior High- 6th to 8th Grade
Senior High- 9th Grade to 12th Grade
​
We offer a dual pathway program in Senior High.
The US Diploma Pathway offers the New York State curriculum and is attained through the successful completion of up to 36 credits. Students in this pathway do not write external exams to complete their program, but write PSAT/SAT for college admission requirements. Students receive an American High School Diploma and formal transcript tailored to the requirements of their program of study in university. This pathway provides flexibility in matching courses to student interest and future application.
​
The Cambridge Pathway offers IGCSE and A Level programs in a range of subjects. These courses are two-year programs, IGCSE in grades 9 & 10, and A Level in grades 11 & 12. It is highly recommended for students in this pathway to reside in our Boarding Facility to immerse themselves in a continual learning atmosphere to develop the in-depth knowledge required on their external examinations. This pathway offers a formalized standard foundation and is ideal for students who have an idea of what they'd like to pursue in university.
​
Our SEN (Special Education Needs) inclusion is unmatched and has tremendous results to validate our program. We do not separate students with varied learning needs but maintain a classroom in which all students are presented with information in a way they can receive, understand, digest, and utilize. We have SEN specialists to assist with students as needed, and tailor each program to the individual student and the best methods to help them succeed. Our SEN department includes ESL (English and a Second Language), and neurological support for students with a diagnosis such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, or are on the Autism spectrum. Our department also forms strategies for students with mental health issues like anxiety and depression.
Bridging the gap between the science of learning, the art of teaching, and the divine purpose of each child.
