CURRICULUM
INTERNATIONAL LEARNING AT AOBA
A comprehensive breakdown of how we approach learning and our curriculum can be found in our Aoba International learning document.
CURRICULUM CONTINUUM
Aoba-Japan International School provides a continuum of international education for our learners aged 3 to 18.
At Aoba, we implement the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum with an emphasis on developing the characteristics of global leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators in our learners. We focus on building effective communication, problem solving and wise risk-taking skills.
We have chosen the IB because it helps us develop well rounded learners who:
- respond to challenges with optimism and an open mind;
- are confident in their own identities;
- make ethical decisions;
- join with others in celebrating our common humanity;
- are prepared to apply what they learn in real world, complex and unpredictable situations (adapted from the IB)
These attributes of internationally minded people represent a broad range of human capacities and responsibilities that go beyond intellectual development and academic success.
EACH PROGRAMME’S CAMPUS
MIDDLE YEARS PROGRAMME
In our Middle Years Programme, we emphasize the core values of global leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovation. We also emphasize the teaching of effective communication skills, problem solving, and wise risk-taking.
Adopting an interdisciplinary, inquiry approach, we teach within the contexts of the following areas of inquiry:
English Language and Literature Japanese Language and Literature English Language Acquisition Japanese Language Acquisition Individuals and Societies Mathematics Design Arts Sciences Physical Health Education Service in Action Personal Project
We concentrate on developing independent and interdependent learners who are able to draw upon strong academic skills of inquiry, critical thinking and analysis to discover and apply new knowledge.
We future-proof our middle school learners, helping them to excel along multiple pathways that, in high school, mean a variety of options such as self-designed courses (Global Leadership Diploma Programme that learners and teachers develop together) and the internationally recognized Diploma Programme. Our focus is to refine their communication, problem-solving, and risk-taking skills by providing relevant, engaging, meaningful, challenging learning opportunities and possibilities for action.
