At Orchardswood International School, classes begin from Reception for 3-year-olds, Pre-school from 4 to 6 years and Grade 1 to Grade 12.
Orchardswood International School uses a Biblically Based Education curriculum. The Accelerated Christian Education Curriculum (ACE) has been in existence for more than 40 years and is internationally recognized.
It is a unique teaching system with an individualized learning methodology; which is Progress motivated individualized Programmed Learning, that meets each child’s educational needs at their level of performance/potential. This allows students to learn at their own Pace which ensures mastery of the subject material.
With the learner-centered approach, many learner differences can be taken into account, learners can work at their own pace at the time most convenient to them; different learning styles can be accommodated; learners are more in control of how and what they learn and learning is active and not passive.
Orchardswood International School is a small Christian school that was started about five years ago out of a Homeschool by individuals who are passionate about Education and had been homeschooling their children using the Ace curriculum for about 10 years.
Friends and other parents who had seen this kind of approach, wanted their children to have what the homeschooled children were experiencing with the ACE curriculum. As one by one came along, OIS was born starting with preschool to grade 12 to cater for those little ones who were starting school then and also embrace the older students who were from homeschool.
Also, the school was intended to provide an alternate curriculum that fosters spiritual nurturing and growth through a Bible-Based Education with scripture embedded in the material the children are learning. This is in agreement with the scripture from Psalm 119:11 “Your word have I hid in my heart, that I may not sin against you.”
The school aims at dealing with each child as an individual because each one of them is unique and matters in the eyes of God. Therefore; for the last four years, the school has had an outstanding reputation for caring, team working with both young and older children.
