STAMFORD ELECTIVES CURRICULUM

STAMFORD GEOGRAPHY & CULTURE MODULE

– Stamford Proprietary Geography & Culture Curriculum

– National Geographic Literacy Curriculum

– Stamford Proprietary Geo-Mind Mapping Method

– Stamford Proprietary Enhanced Montessori Method

Where is Johannesburg? What is Zurich famous for? How can the same food be eaten in 10 different ways? There is never a single way to view the world, to live a life, so why should a child be forced to comply with the “norm”?

Our students understand that he or she lives in the world and not only Singapore. The programme uses the Stamford Geography Materials to expand our students’ understanding of territorial customs and cultures. The programme’s objective is to bring the world into the classroom and help our students develop an open mindset towards better living.

STAMFORD SCIENCE & NATURE MODULE

– Stamford Proprietary Science & Nature Curriculum

– National Geographic Literacy Programme

– Stamford Proprietary Science Experimentation Method

– Stamford Proprietary Enhanced Montessori Method

Why do chameleons change colour? Why is the sun hot? Stamford’s Science & Nature programme is primarily based on the National Geographic Literacy Programme, where our students are involved right to the design of the experiments. Learning will never be the same, as our young students see and feel the impact of knowledge, logic and inquiry.

The Stamford Botany materials are also introduced to further supplement this programme, concretising our students’ learning experiences. The programme’s objective is for our students to observe and understand how the world works, how people adapt to nature, and how science can better affect lives.

STAMFORD GEOMETRY & DIMENSIONING MODULE

– Stamford Proprietary Geometry & Dimensioning Curriculum

– Stamford Proprietary Smart Shapes Method

– Stamford Proprietary Logic Connect Method

– Stamford Proprietary Cognitive Block Building Method

Young children love toying with shapes and sizes and they learn best when they are interested. As such, in addition to focusing on arithmetic skills, we hone our students’ mathematical skills through Geometry.

What does 3,4,5 mean to you? It can mean a sequential increment of 1. But above that, with the right Geometry training, a 3 year old can see a right-angled triangle where the longest side is 5 toothpicks. (This is Pythagoras’ Square, where 3 square + 4 square = 5 square)

Through geometry, we hone our students’ mathematical intuition by helping them discover the relationship between numbers. The Stamford Geometry & Dimensioning Module is built upon several Stamford Methods. For instance, our Stamford Logic Connect Method trains the students using coloured connectors to manipulate and link up into various 3D figures, before recognizing lines of symmetry and important geometric properties. Instead of connecting towards a pre-determined end product, the Stamford Block Building Method forms the basis of unregulated free play, inducing a building objective with controlled variables.
