Our Curriculum

The International Academy of Greenwich offers a Curriculum which is highly personalised, authentic and actively promotes the importance of language. This is to enable all learners to develop as a Global Citizens and as a lifelong-lifewide learners. Through a model of cross-subject enquiries guided by essential real-world questions, learners will be presented with countless opportunities to engage deeply with the knowledge, attitudes and skills of a wide range of academic disciplines while seeing its direct relevance to the world around them.

​

• Our choice of enquiries are designed around real-world issues, enabling students to make valuable connections between their studies and the world around them.

• Our unique Professional Pathways curriculum at Key Stage 4 seeks to prepare students for further study, the world of professional work and a lifetime of learning.

• Our approach is designed to enable all students to master individual subjects, to develop the ‘future-proof’ literacies, competencies and attributes of a ‘future-ready’ learner and Global Citizen.
   

Traditionally schools deliver the same curriculum year after year with no thought about the changing nature of the teacher or the learner. We have a highly structured curriculum skeleton which can be fleshed out in response to the needs of learners and their emerging interests. Our Curriculum is organised under key concepts such as Identity, Connections, and Global Interactions, and through Driving Questions such as To what extent is our shared IAG identity ‘Global’? and Colony Mars: What is required in order to create a sustainable human community on Mars? It is through these unifiers that subject disciplines will be taught both overtly and as integrated interdisciplinary enquiries.

​

In addition, the learner attributes of the Global Citizenship Profile, Approaches to Teaching and Learning and assessment criterion of the IAG Standard are mapped out across the Curriculum ensuring clarity and rigour. These concepts, questions, attributes, ATL’s and criterion will change every 1/2 term creating a natural beginning and end to a cycle of learning.
