Raya Preschool
The Raya Preschool curriculum covers themes and topics relevant to the child’s life. Through these themes and topics, the child develops and eventually masters competencies in Math, Science, English, Filipino and the Arts.
Singapore Math is the approach used in teaching the children numeracy skills.
The themes, spread out across the ten months of school, are as follows:
Ako ay Filipino
Ang Filipinas ang Tahanan Ko
Bahagi Ako ng Isang Pamayanan
Ang Filipinas ay Likas na Mayaman
Kaya Kong Baguhin ang Mundo
Knowing the value of their family and community are integral to the development of the Raya preschoolers. The preschoolers go on a lot of exposure trips as well as meet many resource people and Raya parents who visit the school to share their talents, knowledge and expertise.
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 trimestrally, using both traditional and alternative assessment tools. The medium of instruction in all preschool classrooms is bilingual.
