Our innovative approach sets us apart.
International UNESCO Schools Network
Our School’s blended learning curriculum is underpinned by UNESCO's Sustainable Development Goals, which all focus on providing an inclusive education. We are connected with hybrid learning systems worldwide as a UNESCO Member School. We are one of over 11,500 UNESCO member schools that promote international understanding, peace, intercultural dialogue, sustainable development, and the practical application of quality education.
The Giles School has officially been accepted as a Member School of the International UNESCO Schools Network.
Our English curriculum is influenced by UNESCO’s statement for the United Nations Literacy Decade, which defines literacy as:
“...more than reading or writing - it is about how we communicate in society. It is about social practices, relationships, knowledge, language and culture. Those who use literacy take it for granted - but those who cannot use it are excluded from much communication in today’s world. Indeed, it is excluded who can best appreciate the notion of ‘literacy as freedom.’”
Our school aims to support the development of self-assured, well-rounded individuals who find their place in the world through valuable education. This mission runs throughout our curriculum and is specifically inspired by UNESCO’s fourth Sustainable Development Goal: to ‘empower people with knowledge, skills, and values to live in dignity, build their lives, and contribute to their societies.’
With creative inquiry at its core, our STEAM program combines Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, and the Arts to shape well-rounded individuals who can thrive in society. Learners at The Giles School explore all subjects commonly associated with STEAM through inquiry-based and problem-solving learning methods.
Teachers use project-based learning that integrates the five disciplines, fostering an inclusive learning environment where all students are encouraged to engage and contribute. This cross-curricular approach helps develop soft skills in creativity and collaboration, increasing engagement and motivation while providing a personalized learning experience.
ROBOTICS
The Giles School offers an engaging coding and robotics program that introduces students to foundational concepts like sequences, loops, and problem-solving. Through interactive tools such as Matatalab, Dash, and Lego Robotics, students explore the principles of coding, forces, and energy. They learn how to program robots, create stories, and tackle challenges involving real-world applications of scientific concepts such as gravity, friction, and aerodynamics. The program emphasizes creativity, exploration, and hands-on learning, preparing students for future technological and scientific endeavors.
The Giles School recently introduced two exciting financial literacy programs: Junior Millionaire and Young Investors.
In Junior Millionaire, students are introduced to fundamental money management skills, covering topics like budgeting, saving, taxes, and the basics of investing. This program helps build a strong foundation for leading a balanced financial life.
In Young Investors, students dive into the world of investing by participating in a simulated virtual trading challenge. They learn about stock market indicators, research global events, and explore the impact on their portfolios, providing hands-on experience in financial markets.
