International Curriculum and High School Diploma
ACS offer a comprehensive and robust academic programme built
upon the principles and standards of the international schooling.
Our rigorous curriculum is designed to inspire our students to
become successful, lifelong learners and responsible global
citizens.
The curriculum encourages students to continue their studies in
all of the major academic disciplines, rather than specialise too
early. In the High School, students must earn credits (one credit
per course per year) in English, Mathematics, Sciences, Humanities
and Modern Languages. They must also choose from a wide variety of
courses in fields such as the Arts, Technology and Physical
Education. All ACS students work towards earning the High School
Diploma and credit requirements for graduation, through the range
of courses provided.
Our curriculum is guided by the values and beliefs embedded in
the school's Philosophy and Objectives. We provide Early Childhood,
Lower, Middle, and High School programmes that support preparation
for colleges and universities around the world.
The schools use a variety of means to meet the needs of all
students so that they have the best opportunity to learn and make
progress. This is achieved by:
- differentiating instruction
- benchmarking developmentally appropriate standards
- providing personal and academic counselling
- assessing individual student needs (e.g., Child Study
Teams)
- providing specific programmes (e.g., English as an Additional
Language (EAL), Native Language Enrichment (NLE), advisory, student
leadership, community service, and health education).
All graduating ACS students receive a High School Diploma.
