How We Learn

Our Curriculum

We are on a mission to help every student be the best that they can be. To do that, we scour the planet looking for the best teachers – and then give them the freedom to find ways to help their students reach their true potential.

Every single day, in every single school, and in every single classroom, you will see our students learning the skills they need to lead happy, healthy, successful lives.

Kindergarten

The journey begins, in joyful surroundings – where learning through play is the key.

Our kindergartens are magical places. As you walk into any one of our five schools you will be immersed in a kaleidoscope of noise, colour, fun and laughter.

Young children are always active and on the move. Each day our teachers make sure your child is learning something new and sharing in their joy, wonder and curiosity. We encourage children to do what children of this age do best – to have fun, to discover the world around them and to start to learn new skills that will form the foundation of future learning.

We want children to be happy and kind to one another and to form new friendships to last a lifetime. Our kindergartens are the first step in your child’s ESF learning journey.

What We Learn

Primary School

The next step, inspiring curious minds to question, problem solve, and care about their world.

Visit any one of our ESF primary schools and you will be met by friendly, caring and articulate students. Like our Kindergartens, our Primary Schools are awash with colour, laughter and high quality learning.

Our teachers understand each student’s strengths, their talents and what makes them unique. This is integral to nurturing each child’s confidence and happiness.

In Primary School, students continue to build on the fundamental skills that began in Kindergarten and apply these skills to learn about the world around them.

We want our students to care about themselves and others – their family, friends and communities – both local and global. Our students learn about real-world issues and understand the importance of taking principled action to tackle problems.

Secondary School (Year 7-11)

Where we broaden knowledge and experience and begin to forge ahead.

After primary school, our students will broaden their learning. Taking their understanding of the world and deepening their knowledge and experience through the study of different subjects. 

Our students become a part of a new community in secondary school having new experiences, with new teachers, new subjects and new friends. Learning skills, making memories and building friendships which will last a lifetime.

What We Learn

Secondary School (Year 12-13)

Opening up a world of opportunity for our students.

The students in the last two years of ESF secondary schools are young adults, and that is how we view them. They have successfully worked their way through every stage of their education and are now ready to complete their studies and start writing the next chapter of their life story.

While the focus, understandably, is on gaining qualifications to pursue their next steps, our responsibility to help them become happy, confident and articulate global citizens does not diminish. In each of our schools, service work, community engagement and global citizenship is the key components in developing engaged and responsible life-long learners.

Some students know what they want to pursue in life, others are still weighing up their options and some are still discovering what they want to pursue. The IB Diploma Programme provides a broad programme that allows students to keep their options open. The IB Career-related Programme (IBCP) and Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC) courses provide specialized pathways for students that have already found a focused calling allowing them to spend more time on it and explore it in greater depth.

What We Learn

Support for Learning

Opportunities for all students to reach their full potential.

Each member of the ESF community is unique with their own strengths and talents. At ESF we strive to remove barriers and maximise access to the physical, social, emotional and cognitive domains. 

Excellence looks different for each of us and the achievement of personal best is our shared goal. Teachers provide opportunities for all students to succeed by ensuring learning is planned to include a diverse range of learning strengths and challenges. 

Guided by the ESF Inclusion Principles, all students experience an equal balance of challenge and success through a strengths-based and holistic approach to learning. 

ESF Inclusion Principles

Personalise Approaches to Learning – We believe that inclusion is engaging with all students as unique individuals with their own interests, identities, abilities, strengths and needs.

Exceptional Teachers – We believe that a culture of inclusion is constructed by a community of exceptional leaders and teachers, including suitably qualified and experienced special educational needs teachers and support staff.

Nurturing – We believe that inclusion is valuing and welcoming every member of our community, and supporting their capacity to flourish.

Creating Joyful Learning Environments – We believe that joyful learning environments are enriched by student diversity.
