Raya Elementary

Our elementary curriculum is inspired by six key themes:

  • We are who we are

  • We are diverse

  • We are connected

  • We are equal

  • We are free

  • We live in a complex world

Raya Elementary students experience an integrated curriculum, that is informed not only by the themes above, but also their own interests, skills and inclinations.

Following an integrated curriculum, our elementary students explore lessons in all traditional subjects, as well as more advanced activities and lesson in Science, Citizenship and Identity. Singapore Math is the approach used in teaching the children numeracy skills. They are also exposed to varied forms of literature.

Both the Raya Preschool and the Raya Elementary utilize the Project Approach, developed by Dr. Sylvia Chard of the University of Alberta. Through this approach, students are engaged in many investigatory projects throughout the schoolyear that will make use of their newly learned skills in the different subjects, increase their knowledge of how things work, as well as provide opportunities to practice scientific thinking.

Students are assessed quarterly, using both traditional and alternative assessment tools. The medium of instruction in all elementary classrooms is bilingual.
