Program Overview
The Primary School Program creates a stimulating and challenging environment. For our 1st to 5th grade-aged students, we carefully support your children to gradually take greater responsibility and ownership for their own learning through our inquiry-led framework.
Primary School is from Grade 1-5. The Primary School is both the longest period of a child’s education and the time when the most connections and discoveries take place. Our Primary School provides a rich and dynamic, forward-looking learning environment.
Our children build strong foundations in reading, writing, numerical skills and scientific understandings. In addition, we teach our learners to develop the skills and approaches to learning that are essential in this rapidly changing world.
Areas of learning are English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science and Technology, Arts, and Personal, Social and Physical Education. All our learners have the opportunity to learn in a second language.
Inquiry-Based Learning
Inquiry-based learning is active learning that starts by posing questions, problems or scenarios—rather than simply presenting established facts or portraying discrete areas of knowledge. Learners will identify and research issues and questions to develop their knowledge and understanding. They will synthesize what they have discovered, make connections to prior learning, draw conclusions, take action and move forward with increased confidence.
Integrated Learning
At Siate Felici, subject areas from IB, Cambridge & CBSE are not taught in isolation but are blended to create learning experiences that mirror the real world. When studying local and global issues, we reinforce the connections between respective subjects, creating a more effective and meaningful learning experience. As a result, students gain a deeper, more complete understanding.

Rigorous Assessment
In order to personalize learning for each child, our teachers continuously assess each child’s knowledge and understanding of the concepts taught. As facilitators to your child’s education our role is to know what they know, understand and can apply at different stages in the learning process.
Our ongoing assessments include personal reading assessments, phonic and spelling assessments all using internationally benchmarked tests, as well as ongoing math diagnostics and writing tasks.
Cross-Grade Collaboration
Collaboration and community are integral elements of everything that we do across all grades at the School. Teachers across the grades and subject areas regularly collaborate with other teachers to integrate learning opportunities into units of inquiry and specific subject areas.
