BC Curriculum and Personalised Learning
CSB offers the British Columbia (BC), Canada curriculum - an internationally renowned education programme of the highest standard. The BC Curriculum teaches students by fostering a lifelong love of learning by offering a balanced, concept and inquiry-based approach that is student-centred.
The programme focuses on personalised learning by enhancing student engagement in learning and giving students choices — more of a say in what and how they learn — leading to lifelong, self-directed learning. Students and teachers develop learning plans to build on students’ interests, goals, and learning needs. Involving students in reflecting on their work and setting new goals based on their reflections allows them to take more control of their learning. Personalised learning also encompasses place-based learning, where learning experiences are adapted to the local environment or an individual context.
Life Skills Programmes
In line with its inquiry-based learning method and holistic approach, the school has been conducting various life skill programmes and workshops for the students. The life skills programmes expose students to something new that they can learn from while having fun and being creative simultaneously preparing to be future-ready.
