LEARNING PROGRAMME: ACADEMICS The academic learning programme allows students to experience the challenge of intellectual pursuit and the joy of scholarly engagement. While gaining a deep understanding of individual disciplines, students investigate the connections between these disciplines and look to solve complex problems using different approaches. The design of the curriculum is informed by the UWCSEA mission, educational goal, values, the needs of our student body, the depth of experience of our teachers and research-based best practice. When constructing the learning goals of our K–12 academic curriculum, we took into account the requirements of external examining bodies that set the (I)GCSE and IB Diploma examinations in Grade 10 and Grade 12. This allowed us to work backwards and develop rigorous, developmentally appropriate learning goals for all our students.
