However, in the formative years of Pre-KG to 9, the school has carefully crafted an eclectic mix of the best strategies /practices/academic programmes of international curricula along with the base of CBSE.
The well-qualified and trained team of teachers have experience of and exposure to the various international curriculum schools in Dubai. This empowers them to employ the latest best practices of teaching for effective learning, to support a curriculum designed to prepare global citizens of the world of tomorrow.
Given this profile, it’s no surprise that Bright Riders School is home to students of over 27 different nationalities.
The curriculum at KG is inspired by the EYFS guidelines of the UK curriculum and blended with the best of the latest National Curriculum Framework of the CBSE. It aims at developing age-specific learning goals, through a thematic approach, focused on polishing key skills in literacy, numeracy, physical, social and emotional development. The classroom experience is child-initiated, encouraging enquiry-based learning and individual personality development. Teachers closely observe developing interests and abilities and promote students' thinking through probing and critical thinking questions. Ample opportunities for exploration based on students' needs and interests, foster connections between their experiences and integrate various areas of learning.
This next stage opens up new subjects and languages. The curriculum builds on prior learning, providing opportunities for students to strengthen and advance their skills. Students apply their knowledge through practical tasks and problem-solving. The curriculum also focuses on strengthening personal and social skills through collaboration and taking responsibility for their own learning.
These most impressionable years develop further both academic skills of critical thinking, problem solving etc and knowledge to enable a smooth transition to the fixed framework of Secondary and Senior Secondary of the CBSE. The focus is on taking forward Higher-Order Skills through experiential learning, project-based learning, and blended learning approaches. Students become increasingly self – driven and better understand strengths and areas for improvement.
