LEARNING AT DURHAM
Learning across the school
A closer look at the subjects, experiences and teaching approaches behind the school day.
Science, technology and making
Coding, robotics and applied-science activities connect scientific ideas with building, testing and revising. From a programmed robot to a Science Fair model, students have something concrete to test and explain.
French as part of school life
French begins in Casa 1 and continues through elementary school. Songs, drama, music and lessons give students different ways to hear, practise and use the language.
Music, art and performance
Instrumental music, visual art, choir and drama bring creative work into the school day. Concerts and other opportunities to present work give students an audience for their practice and ideas.
Teaching that responds to the learner
Hands-on activities, real-world connections and varied ways to demonstrate understanding help teachers respond to different learners. Questions and mistakes are part of the learning process.
Beyond the classroom
Workshops, guest speakers and excursions extend the curriculum. Specific events and availability vary, so families should ask about the current program for their child’s year.
