Cascades International School prides itself in providing a modified Reggio curriculum that aims to instill a lifelong love for learning to its students.
Approach
Reggio-Emilia Approach
An educational philosophy wherein there are three educators; the teacher, the child and the environment. Children are active participators in their own learning and teachers encourage child initiated activities. Learning is done through multiple ways a child can learn.
Mixed Age
All children (2.5-5.5 years old) will be in one classroom. This gives them the opportunity to adjust to different types and levels of students in terms of understanding, maturity and capacity to move. This also allows them the experience of depending and being depended on.
Co-teaching
Experienced artists and professionals from different occupations are invited to share their knowledge and skills. They collaborate with our teachers to plan enjoyable activities that will introduce the children to different professional fields in line with concepts being taught.
Individualized Tracking
Teachers will document the progress of each child by tracking the skills and concepts acquired, which will then be shared to the parents. The tracking will show what skills and concepts are already mastered, needs improvement, or not yet introduced. The target skills are based on DepEd requirements, and guided by age-appropriate developmental milestones of a child.
Celebrating Creativity
The children will document their work in portfolios which will be showcased on a yearly exhibit, giving them the chance to earn or donate to the school’s supported charities.
Parents -Teacher Collab
Parents are encouraged to be involved in the Cascades community. Parents and guardians are introduced to the school’s unique teaching approach through programs that involves the entire school and the participating families.
Spiral Progression
The Reggio-Emilia approach is further anchored through spiral progression of discovery based learning. Instead of learning in a linear process, concepts and skills on different subjects are revisited at each level with increasing depth and complexity.
