Chartwell
International School
Belgrade
Educational programme
The school’s program is an international one based on the British National curriculum.
The curriculum seeks a balance between the search for meaning and understanding, and the acquisition of essential skills and knowledge. It emphasizes interdisciplinary enquiry and the all-round development of students. It encourages the comparison of different cultural perspectives so as to develop critical thinking.
The content is drawn from the best of many national curricula, and taught through an international perspective similar to the International Baccalaureate approach. It seeks to give children the depth and focus of a European curriculum, while simultaneously addressing the issues of breadth and context. It enables students to meet the academic requirements of most school curricula throughout the world, providing a strong adaptability for a child who moves on to other educational establishments.
Curriculum keywords are the balance between skills and knowledge, creativity, community engagement and environmental awareness.
Chartwell works in association with a range of high schools, local and international, which follow a similar educational philosophy. Chartwell pupils can follow their schooling to Cambridge examinations wherever they go in the world.
Curriculum
Foundation Stage Nursery + Reception (ages 3 - 5 years)
This is a two-year cycle, which prepares children for Key Stage 1 of the National Curriculum. Children are expected to achieve specified ‘early learning goals’ by the end of this cycle. The Foundation Stage programme is organized into six areas of learning: personal, social and emotional development, communication, language and literacy, mathematical development, knowledge and understanding of the world, physical development and creative development.
The Primary Years, Key Stages 1 & 2 (Ages 5 – 11)
Years 1 - 6
There are three ‘core’ subjects in the British National Curriculum – English, Mathematics and Science. Combined science is added at Key Stage 3 at the end of the Primary cycle. In addition, children are taught History, Geography, Technology, Art, Music and Physical Education. French is introduced in Year 3 and taught throughout the school.
Secondary Education, Key Stage 3 (Ages 11 - 14)
Years 7 – 9
Children continue to be taught the same subjects as in the Primary years. There is a suite of computers in the Secondary School which are extensively used by the teachers and students in all the subjects taught.
