Welcome to
Rose of Sharon Academy
CBC/8-4-4 & Cambridge Curriculum

We are excited to be an integral part of your child’s foundational learning years.
Inside this pack is all the information that you need to ensure that your child has a
smooth transition into our school.

We believe that communication between home and school is key to helping us get to
know your child as quickly as possible. We operate on an “open door” policy, so if you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask anyone on our team.

Our strength as a school lies in our ethos, which is based in our school mission: “to
mold a generation of skilled responsible and dignified leaders who will be sought after for
their competence.” We aim for all our learners to be model citizens when they leave
the school, understanding their place in the wider community.

We hope that your child has a wonderful time at our school and that we are able to
provide you and your family with not only happy memories that will last forever, but
also academic success for your child where they achieve their full potential in
everything they do.

CBC CURRICULUM
Pre-school

We believe that education should start on the right footing and for us that means
spaces that feel like home; nurturing, warm, safe and designed for fun. Our
kindergarten welcomes children from the age of two to six years old.

At RSA, we pride ourselves on being able to provide a seamless transition for your
children by creating a happy, safe and inclusive environment where they develop at a
relaxed pace and are encouraged to explore and experiment.

The introduction of the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) combines the use of
structure and routine with opportunities for free choice and exploration. Our
versatile approach to teaching incorporates contemporary methods by using play and
technology.

Whilst we recognize the importance of child-led activities, we acknowledge that
children need a balance of structure and free choice to ensure that they experience
all areas of learning, and in particular, those areas they find more challenging. Our
highly capable team has a wide-ranging set of skills, which enables us to ensure that
all of our children continue on to the next stage of their education with confidence
and a genuine enthusiasm for learning.

We also incorporate a wide range of extra curricular activities such as roller skating,
swimming, music, among others, which are paramount for developing social, physical
and interpersonal skills.

Dropping Off &
Picking Up Your Child
The school day begins at 8.00am but the children come in
between 6.30am - 7.30am.

              - Morning Session: 8.00am - 10.00am
              - Break Time: 10.00am - 11.00am
              - Afternoon Session: 2.00pm - 3.00pm

We use the second exit to pick up the children, to allow for
smooth traffic flow from the children being dropped off by
the bus.

PRIMARY SECTION
Lower Primary: Grade 1–4

For our lower primary, we have incorporated e-learning extensively as part of our
plan to develop leaders that are versatile and agile in environments that are changing
quickly and unpredictably.

We believe that a conversance with technology aids our learners in their learning by
opening them up to more innovative ways of thinking, learning and executing what
they learn.

Upper Primary: Class 5–8

Our upper primary provides a robust academic environment that encourages project
learning to develop critical and analytical thinking in line with our focus to develop
wholesome, confident and curious leaders who are adaptable to the fast-changing
nature of the world and are able to challenge the status quo and offer creative
solutions.

We advocate for independent thinking while encouraging team work and in addition
to our emphasis on academic excellence, we are keen on developing wholesome
leaders and we encourage an exploration of their talents in sports, music and creative
arts through various clubs and activities available at the school. In addition to these
clubs, we also have a thriving business club that is nurturing the next generation of
entrepreneurs!

CAMBRIDGE PRIMARY
          Year 1 – 6

          At RSA, we strive to make improvements that enhance our ethos. Affirming our
          mission: To mold a generation of skilled, responsible and dignified leaders who will be
          sought after for their competence. In partnership with the Cambridge International,
          we bring you a globally recognized education system that is a platform your child will
          find the best educational institutions that the world has to offer.

          By offering Cambridge Primary, we can provide a broad and balanced education for
          our learners, helping them to thrive throughout their schooling, work and life. With
          ten subjects to choose from; mathematics, science, and english as the main subjects,
          your child will find plenty of opportunities to develop creativity, expression and
          wellbeing in a variety of ways.
