Curriculum
Ullens School offers a multi-faceted and balanced curriculum
within the framework of the Nepal Government's National Curriculum. The School
delivers this curriculum through the Bank Street approach to teaching, in
partnership with Bank Street College of Education, New York, a pioneer in
innovative and progressive education.
Ullens School puts a lot of value in experiential learning.
Our teachers create a hands-on interactive environment in the classroom.
Through teamwork, students learn the value of cooperation as a problem-solving
technique.
English is the primary medium of instruction, but students
learn to speak both Nepali and English fluently and to write in both languages.
In addition, opportunities are available for students who wish to study
Mandarin. Students learn to organize their ideas clearly and concisely whether
they are speaking or writing.
Students learn mathematics through problem-centered
experimentation. In science and social studies classes, teachers begin
instruction with what students already know about their world, then continue to
explore the subjects through 'hands on' activities, textbooks and resource
materials. Field trips are an essential part of this kind of learning.
Computer education begins in grade one so that children can be
prepared for meaningful communication in the 21st century world.
At Ullens School, we believe in the development of the whole
child which means that we focus not only on academic learning but also the
artistic and physical development of our students.
We nurture creativity through arts classes. Students draw,
paint and model clay in the fine arts classes and they develop confidence in
the performing arts, through singing, playing musical instruments and drama.
The physical education program is aimed at helping children
not only be skilled in sports but to develop a good understanding the value of
physical education, the discipline associated with it and to commit to fitness
for a lifetime.
The school provides ample opportunities for students to expand
their academic and social horizons through educational field trips, school
tours, listening to guest speakers who come to help children understand
specific subject areas better.
Ullens School also follows the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme Curriculum at the higher secondary level.
