Learning

Canadian International School, Bangladesh is a Canadian accredited school by the Ministry of Education, Nova Scotia, Canada and by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). At CISB, we follow Canadian curriculum from Early Years through to Grade 9 and then  dual track programs of Canadian (Nova Scotia) and  IBDP from  Grade 10 to 12 .

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma is a pre-university course of studies, leading to examinations, which meet the needs of motivated secondary school students between the ages of 16 and 19 years.  Designed as a comprehensive two-year curriculum enabling graduates to fulfill requirements of various national and international education systems, the diploma model is based on the pattern of no single country but incorporates the best elements of many.  The program offers special features in addition to the traditional strengths of a liberal arts curriculum.

Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is a required interdisciplinary course intended to stimulate critical reflection upon the knowledge and experience gained inside and outside the classroom.  TOK challenges students to question assumptions about knowledge, to be aware of subjective and ideological biases, and to develop a personal mode of thought, using analysis of evidence expressed in rational argument.  A key element in the IB’s educational philosophy, TOK seeks to develop a coherent approach to learning which transcends and unifies the academic subjects and encourages appreciation of other cultural perspectives. 

Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) is a key requirement of the diploma curriculum.  Students are required to earn hours among these three elements in order to develop awareness, concern, and the ability to work cooperatively with others. Students actively work with and for the communities in which they live.

The Extended Essay is another requirement for diploma candidates who must undertake original research and write an essay of 4000 words. Universities particularly favor this component of IB, as it replicates students’ real-life experience on the collegiate level.

Coursework in for International Baccalaureate involves a two-year program that contains six academic areas.  Subjects are studied concurrently, and students are exposed to the two great traditions of learning:  the humanities and the sciences.  Diploma candidates are required to select one subject from each of the six subject groups.  At least three and not more than four are taken at Higher Level (HL), the others are Standard Level (SL).  HL courses represent 240 teaching hours; SL courses cover 150 hours.  By arranging work in this fashion, students are able to explore some subjects in depth and some more broadly over the two-year period.

Nova Scotia is respected for its quality education, innovative curriculum and excellence in teaching and learning. It believes in preparing students for a lifetime of learning.  Today’s graduates must be able to identify and solve problems, and they need to be able to effectively adapt to change.  They need well-developed organizational and interpersonal skills, including the ability to work collaboratively with others and assume leadership roles.  Graduates of today need to be able to communicate clearly, competently and with confidence that comes from a broad base of knowledge.

The Nova Scotia curriculum is based on principles of learning that teachers and administrators consider when planning experiences for students.  Our learning environment is designed to incorporate the following learning principles to best support our students:

1. Learning is a process of actively constructing knowledge
2. Students construct knowledge and make it meaningful in terms of their prior knowledge and experiences
3. Learning is enhanced when it takes place in a social and collaborative environment
4. Students need to continue to view learning as an integrated whole
5. Learners must see themselves as capable and successful
6. Learners have different ways of knowing and representing their knowledge
7. Reflection is an integral part of learning

With these principles in mind the Nova Scotia curriculum is developed within a learning outcomes framework consisting of statements that describe the knowledge, skills, and attitudes students are expected to demonstrate from their learning experiences. They are provided opportunities to develop these beyond foundational literacy and numeracy that will prepare them to engage in a lifetime of learning.

At the end of Grade 12 students from Canadian International School Bangladesh graduate with a certified Canadian Diploma from the province of Nova Scotia, allowing them to go anywhere in the world for post-secondary education

This includes Early Childhood Education (aged 2 and 3 years), Junior Kindergarten (4 years), and Kindergarten (KG – 5 years). Preschool is the foundation for effective learning. Carefully chosen activity based topics nurture each child’s growth and development. Using manipulative materials, centers, blocks and sand and water, each child’s first experiences are both stimulating and fun. Some children only watch at first but soon choose to become engaged and involved. Our children experience an introduction to literacy and numeracy, songs and rhymes, story time, painting, crafts, and outdoor play.

Our KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM begins to emphasize both literacy and simple printing skills. The alphabet, numbers, simple words and sentences which forms the skill framework for our KG’s. Unit themes are introduced such as our community and our world.

This includes the concepts and skills of THE ONTARIO CANADA CURRICULUM Grades 1 to 6 . The Primary Years of Grades 1 – 3 emphasizes skills are conceptually development for the both English language arts and mathematics. The Juniors of Grades 4, 5 and 6 extend these skills much further consolidating both literacy skills and number skills.
