| Language and Literacy |
The Beaconhouse School System educates
its students through a process of English language immersion.
The literature rich curricula support and encourage
second language acquisition. Students experience a variety
of language and literacy activities.
Oracy Time is an activity during which students are
encouraged to communicate their feelings, thoughts and
ideas in a warm, accepting environment. Story Time is
another activity in which students hear carefully selected
stories which aim to develop language skills. |

| Mathematics |
| The BSS Early Years curricula lay the
foundations of the subject in a practical way. Students
are offered experiences which build their confidence
and understanding, as well as provide enjoyment. The
mathematical strands include number, shape, space and
measures. |

| Knowledge and Understanding of
the World |
| This area provides students with opportunities
to explore, pose hypothesis, seek answers and draw conclusions
through observation and investigation. |

| Personal and Social Development |
| At BSS, we believe that students learn
by observing and interacting with other people and the
world around them. BSS aims to provide an environment
in which the students develop social and moral values. |
| |
| Physical Development |
| All students participate in physical education,
including team games and athletics. Through these activities,
students acquire an awareness of space and develop their
own coordination skills. Students learn to work individually
as well as part of a team, gaining physical well-being,
mental stimulation and, most of all, enjoyment. |
