So this week I learned more about the programs at the school my professional contact works at. The children learn a variety of programs through Language and interaction, mathematics, ethics and religion, environmental and natural studies, health physical and motor development.
I noticed that religion plays a major role in their education. The Bible studies curriculum teaches children everything about the bible and how it applies to their lives. The Bible studies curriculum covers the entire Bible, studying the Old Testament and New Testament. By the end of their studies, children should be well-equipped for local Christian and Catholic primary schooling.
While the students are developing their personal values they are learning to become more confident around them selves and their peers. Through activities and teaching of manners, the students will be guided towards good personal relationships and emotional health and to avoid use of violence.
I have also learned that families typically pay an average of $4,500 school in 12 month installments. School Uniforms are $85 and miscellaneous fees are about $1,800 per school term which is 6 months. The miscellaneous pays for curriculum material, books, wow cards, art crafts and so on.
Kweshonte,
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that students are developing personal values through teaching manners, good personal relationships and emotional health. Avoiding violence is a good thing. It tells me they value a solid and strong foundation of social and emotional development. It seems to me that this is carried on beyond early education. That is a great standard to have for any educational setting.
