Curriculum 

The SFS offers both an international curriculum and the English national curriculum

International Curriculum

The approach to teaching and learning in the Early Years at SFS is centered around the belief that young children learn through play. Play provides children with a sense of well-being and opportunities to explore their world socially, emotionally and intellectually.

Therefore, SFS construct daily schedules to ensure children have ample time to play in carefully created learning environments supported by adults.

British School

Students follow a curriculum rich in language, words, movement, play, painting, drawing, sculpture, music, role play, and most importantly, outdoor experiences in the natural environment. Students are already developing reading skills and are able to access specialist teachers for a wide range of subjects. World Language lessons begin as young as 3 years old.

Teaching Languages

English, Mandarin, Korean

The facilities of SFS are intentionally designed and updated to best fit the needs of a modern student.
