Primary - Anglo Singapore International School

Primary Curriculum

The Primary curriculum at Anglo combines academic excellence with a focus on holistic well-being, fostering creativity, collaboration, and effective communication. The six-year programme integrates the best aspects of both the Singaporean and Cambridge International curricula, with a four-year foundation stage (P1–P4) followed by a two-year orientation stage (P5–P6). Students engage with subjects including English, mathematics, science, languages, art, music, drama, computer science, global perspectives, physical education, chess, and character development. This integrated approach ensures that our students are well-prepared for success in an ever-evolving world.

At Anglo, we offer a unique primary curriculum that blends the academic excellence of the Singaporean curriculum with a strong focus on holistic wellbeing. Our programme is designed to foster creativity, collaboration, and communication skills in students across all subject areas, providing a well-rounded education that prepares them for success in all aspects of life. Our primary school education programme is divided into two stages: a four-year foundation stage and a two-year orientation stage. We prioritise core subjects like English, mathematics, science, and languages, and we also offer enriching non-core subjects that teach essential skills. Our comprehensive curriculum is one of the best educational offerings in Bangkok, designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in today’s ever-changing world.

English

English language learning is a top priority at Anglo. We use English as the primary language of instruction and communication in all classes, with the exception of other language courses.

Our curriculum blends the Singaporean curriculum objectives with the Cambridge Primary English framework and resources to give a solid foundation of reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills.

English Support

We believe that proficiency in English is essential for success in our international community. With the global economy and interconnected world of today, proficiency in English is increasingly important, opening doors to future success.

We therefore offer smaller, specialised Foundation and Intensive Language support classes for students who need additional help with the language.

Maths&Science 1

Mathematics

Our primary school mathematics curriculum, based on the renowned Singapore national curriculum, provides a strong foundation in numeracy essential for future success. The curriculum employs innovative, research-based approaches to teaching mathematics, emphasising exploration, collaboration, and journaling to foster logical reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in students while deepening their understanding in mathematics.

Our goal is to develop a lifelong passion for mathematics while equipping our students with the necessary tools and attitudes to succeed in the rapidly changing world of the 21st century.

Maths&Science 2

Science

Science education is instrumental in developing an understanding of the natural world and the environment while fostering logical reasoning, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills essential for future success in a rapidly evolving world driven by technology and innovation.

Our primary school science curriculum, built on the highly regarded Singapore national curriculum and equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and resources, provides hands-on experiences, practical experiments, and project-based investigations to help students gain a deeper understanding of scientific theories and concepts.

Chinese

Languages: Chinese

Chinese (Mandarin) is one of the most important language offerings at Anglo. With China’s growing influence in the region and on the world stage, we believe that fluency in Chinese offers our students greater opportunities for success. Moreover, with approximately 15% of the world’s population speaking Chinese, learning the language is also a practical choice.

Our Chinese language educators, who are native speakers, utilise their knowledge of the language, as well as their understanding of Chinese culture, heritage, history, and tradition to fully engage our students in their language learning.

Thai

Languages: Thai

Thai language instruction is offered as part of our curriculum, in line with government regulations. We believe that learning Thai is essential for our students to integrate into the local community and to communicate effectively.

Our Thai language programme emphasises grammar, syntax, and vocabulary, while also integrating cultural learning. Primary school students receive tailored Thai language instruction, with Thai nationals receiving more advanced language training and non-Thai students receiving a basic course in Thai language and culture.

Korean

Languages: Korean

Korean is one of our core language offerings. With lessons taught by fully qualified native teachers using the Korean national curriculum, Korean nationals can rest assured that their child may easily transition back to education in Korea when needed and will grow up with an appreciation for the language, culture and customs of home.

Japanese

Languages: Japanese

Japanese native speakers receive Kokugo lessons from fully qualified, native Japanese teachers who follow the Japanese national curriculum standards and methods. This approach ensures that students become fully proficient in their mother tongue and will be well-prepared to return to Japan in the future, if they choose to do so.

Enrichment

Non-core Subjects

Our students can explore their creativity and artistic expression through our art, music, and drama classes, while our PE programme emphasises teamwork, sportsmanship, and a healthy lifestyle. We foster a love for reading and appreciation for books in our library time, and our computing classes provide coding skills and promote responsible digital citizenship.

Additionally, our chess lessons promote mental agility and strategic thinking, and our global perspectives programme helps students develop research, analysis, evaluation, communication, and collaboration skills whilst learning about important global issues.
