Drawing inspiration from the Finnish system, Reggio Emilia, Waldorf Educational Approach and the British EYFS curriculum, our eclectic approach combines global best practices to create an enriching learning experience for our students with an individualized, play and family-centered approach.

Early Year Programme from Playgroup to Prep

Pre-school at VLC is characterised by days of dependable routine and structure, a set-up reminiscent of home, and a congenial atmosphere which provides children with a sense of security and belonging. This space has been carefully designed to be friendly and aesthetically pleasing, with an emphasis on the use of natural materials. We follow the innovative, in-house developed SNAP (stories, nature, art and play) curriculum.

The innovative SNAP (stories, nature, art and play) curriculum of this play-based, literacy-rich environment allows children to thrive and develop according to age-appropriate milestones that have been set out in accordance with EYFS learning outcomes. Having an emergent curriculum ensures that pedagogical practices always remain child-centric, allowing educators to collaborate with, and not dictate to, children on their learning processes.

stories and songs

Storytelling bolsters a child’s imagination and allows them to experience words, sounds and images. This cultivates a range of abilities in children as they learn languages, colours, shapes and much more which play a pivotal role in developing communication skills and cognitive skills. When the child develops these skills, they’re capable of generating a range of emotions making them and empathic individual.

From SNAP to STAMP

The STAMP curriculum draws inspiration from the Finnish Education system while keeping in mind the expected long-term learning milestones of the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE). This unique, blended approach allows us to remain true to our philosophy, while also being mindful of the educational environment and standards that children are privy to.
Elementary school at VLC currently starts with Grade 1 and goes up till Grade 7 in Middle School. A grade level is added each year with the intention to go all the way through IGCSE for those families who believe in progressive education for their child’s wholesome development.

While we grow and integrate the STAMP (science, technology, arts, mathematics, and play) curriculum in to our classrooms, we stand true to our roots with SNAP (stories, nature, art and play) deeply immersed within the core teaching methodology of our more advanced curriculum.

science

Children are naturally curious and need answers for the latent processes of daily life happenings. Science is taken as an intensely human and creative subject at VLC which helps children nurture their curiosity, experiment, develop problem solving skills, and spark interest in the world of science. Our teaching methodology is largely multi-disciplinary and cross curricular.
