Primary Year (Grade 1 to 5)

CURRICULUM

Inspired by the Experiential Learning and Visible Thinking approach

The Dewvale primary curriculum aims to provide a broad and profound learning experience and encourages a rich variety of approaches to teaching and learning that cater to the different needs of individual children. The primary curriculum is designed to nurture the child in all dimensions of his or her life—spiritual, moral, cognitive, emotional, imaginative, aesthetic, social and physical, in a diverse and intellectually stimulating environment. The primary curriculum is planned carefully and progressively, so that there is coherence and full coverage of all aspects of the transition stage from KG to lower primary. The curriculum is designed to meet the UAE National Agenda Parameters and the structure of the CBSE Curriculum is embedded and established well with international elements for a smooth transition of students to the upper primary. A problem-based learning approach with meaningful cross curricular connections makes learning deeply engaging and life-long.

We aim at the holistic development of students through joyful learning techniques that extend learning beyond the classrooms. Students are guided and trained to acquire 21st Century Learning Skills. They are exposed to challenging and differentiated learning experiences which nurture critical thinking, problem-solving, reasoning, and decision-making skills. During Primary School, we embrace the students’ innate inquisitive nature to develop their basic skills through first-hand experiences. They are encouraged to question, explore, apply, and test what they know, whilst treating each other with respect and developing the beginnings of social etiquette.

The wide range of extra-curricular activities and wellness programmes ensures the all-round development of the child’s personality and develops the awareness of the global needs and competencies pertaining to self and community. It also creates an enthusiastic and happy learning environment in the primary classrooms.
