Stamford uses an American standards-based curriculum, based on the rigorous and proven American Education Reaches Out (AERO) and Common Core Plus standards that develop a strong foundation in the core subjects such as language art, math, humanities, and science. To foster curiosity and independent thinking, we deliver this curriculum using an inquiry-based approach across themes and nurture every child through a personalized learning approach.
What are the core elements of the curriculum?
In addition to our adopted American standards, the core of our curriculum is infused with several elements that focus on developing the whole child. These elements include the notions of global citizenship, special approaches to learning methods, international mindedness, service learning, building character and social-emotional learning. These ideals are taught through traditional content areas such as English, humanities, science, mathematics and innovation, all supported by a rich and varied combination of primary and secondary resources. In addition, the curriculum is broad and balanced, so students also study a range of specialist subjects including a modern language (Mandarin or Spanish), art, drama, music, and physical and health education.
