Grade 1-5 Highlights
  • In the Lower Elementary (Grade 1 to 5) your child will gain from learning in multi-age classrooms where the younger children benefit from having role models and the older children benefit from having opportunities to model behavior and develop empathy.
  • Two fully-trained teachers per classroom with no more than 25 students means more differentiation in the teaching and learning, more support for the students, more collaboration between teachers and double the perspective.
  • A diverse classroom per subjects across the school year means expanded opportunities for inquiry, critical thinking, and transdisciplinary learning as students make real and relevant connections across various subject areas.
  • Exposure to music, art, swimming, Karate, Futsal and theatre provide opportunities for transdisciplinary learning while also preparing students for the transition to upper school.
  • Our curriculum is concept-driven, which allows learning to be transferable to new situations – not locked in time and place.
  • Our use of various educational technologies in the classroom enhances teaching and learning.
  • Through assessments at the beginning, middle and end of units, students are empowered to take the lead in their learning.
  • Student-led Parent-Teacher conferences provide your child with an opportunity to show how they know themselves as a learner as they take you through their successes and challenges.
  • Digital portfolios are another example of how we teach students to take ownership of their learning as they document examples of their work throughout the school year using Google Classroom
  • Your child’s experience in the Lower School will culminate in the Ankuram Exhibition, a collaborative project that allows students to take action on topics that they are passionate about.

Assessment

Assessment is an integral part of teaching and learning at Ankuram Academy. The word assessment stems from the Latin word “assidere” which means “to sit beside.” We view assessment as an opportunity “to sit beside” your child to help them understand where they are at in their progression of learning.

The use of rubrics is one way we help students assess themselves as learners. Rubrics are also used to guide teachers in their planning for learning engagements in addition to formal assessments. Students are provided with rubrics at the beginning of each unit so they know what they’re working towards and what “good” should look like. With this knowledge and understanding, they’re empowered to achieve their goals.
