Cascades Curriculum

The Cascades Curriculum is centered around equipping students with the knowledge and understanding of sustainable development. Our students are exposed to hands-on experiences that encourage them to build, innovate, and create. By emphasizing the value of work, resources, money, and time, our curriculum instills a sense of responsibility and purpose in our students.

The Curriculum will emphasize collaboration and community involvement. Our students engage in real-world projects that make a tangible impact on our local community through inclusive and collaborative learning environments, we aim to nurture active citizenship and social responsibility.

Cascades School aims to produce independent learners by promoting

diverse methods of learning, problem solving through different approaches and discovery

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.

Guiding Principles

View of the child.

Every child is an artist, an explorer, a creator, and a competent learner. Every child is viewed as strong, passionate, and resilient. Each one a contributing member of the community and given equal rights.

Collaboration and Interaction.

The Reggio inspired classroom setting is designed for children to interact, be connected, and build relationships. Self-directed manipulatives and materials allow the children to be more open and flexible in the different ways of learning.

Environment as the third teacher.

The layout of the physical space fosters encounters, communication, and relationships. The environment is designed to encourage kids to learn independently. The environment will teach the children that each individual is an important part of a bigger community.

Teachers and children are partners in learning

Teachers are seen as researchers learning along with the children through exchanges and negotiations. Teachers will use the inquiry-based approach to bring out the interest of the children, and motivate them to discover more.

Documentation is powerful.

Activities are compiled in albums for each program which guides teachers and caregivers on the children’s level and skill. The exhibits and portfolios put together by the children makes them feel that their works are appreciated when displayed and shared.

Children has “hundred languages”.

Every child has hundred different ways of learning with numerous ways of showing the cognitive and symbolic expressions of their learning processes. Instead of prepackaged knowledge, their hundred languages will be tapped and utilized in their education.
