Lower Secondary -Years 7-9

The academic programme is based on the Cambridge International Curriculum but with key enhancements of One Planet’s vision to provide an innovative, challenging and creative curriculum that develops the core knowledge, skills, and attitude required to embark on the higher learning in our IGCSE programme.

Students study English, Amharic, Mathematics, Science, Geography, History, Music, Art, Global Perspective, Junior Youth Empowerment Program, Information Technology and PE. In addition, they choose to participate in the different clubs, service opportunities, and social discourses within their communities.

Where appropriate, instruction is enquiry based and geared towards problem solving. Students are encouraged to think critically and take risks in the classroom in order to develop problem-solving skills, because we believe that making mistakes is a vital part of the learning process.

Project work is an essential component both individually and in groups. There is also a range of opportunities for students to pursue their areas of interest in greater depth both in school and through relevant extra-curricular experiences beyond the classroom.
