ISA Tianhe offers a rigorous and balanced Early Years curriculum for children aged 2 to 6 years. The EYFS learning outcomes, UK standards and IB Framework are mapped across the academic year to ensure all areas of the teaching and learning is covered, aiming to enable students to learn and develop their own knowledge, concepts, skills and attributes, preparing them for the IB PYP (Primary Years Programme). This framework integrates the characteristics of English language curriculum and traditional Chinese culture. Our programme emphasises the personal, social, emotional, physical, and lingual development of our students. We use UK National Curriculum standards and concepts for lesson planning, whilst the IB framework acts as a guide to inquiry learning and developing independence.

爱莎天河为2至6岁的孩子提供一系列严谨而平衡的幼儿园课程。英式早期（教育）基础阶段（ EYFS ）学习成果、英国国家教育大纲标准和国际文凭课程（IB）框架贯穿在整个学年，以确保涵盖教学的各个领域，让孩子们能够学习并提升自身的知识、概念、技能与特质，为小学PYP课程做好准备。幼儿园课程使用英国国家教育大纲课程标准和概念进行课堂规划，同时利用IB框架作为探究性学习和培养独立性的指引，还结合了英语课程和传统中国文化精髓，强调学生的个人、社会、情感、身体以及语言能力的培养。

ISA Tianhe brings together a group of teachers from around the world, who are highly qualified teachers with average teaching experience of more than 10 years. As IB practitioners, they are proficient in inquire-based teaching and possess a high level of intercultural competence, and passion for education and children. Among them, the international teachers are from the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and other native English-speaking countries. The Chinese teachers and Associate Teachers are bilingual and selected from the international and national system.

为保证高质量的教学，爱莎天河荟聚了一批来自全球各地富有经验和教育情怀的国际教师和中方教师，具备专业的教育资质且平均教学年龄超10年。作为IB从业者，他们精通探究式教学，并具备高水平的跨文化能力, 热爱教育与孩子。其中，国际教师分别来自英国、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰和爱尔兰等以英文为母语的国家。中文老师和助教老师则是来自本地教育/国际教育系统且精通双语的教育人才。

Early Years Differentiated Learning refers to the process in which schools divide children into different levels based on factors such as their cognitive abilities, learning abilities, interests, and hobbies during the teaching process. This approach aims to cater to the individual learning needs of each child, thereby enhancing the overall teaching effectiveness. Through personalized teaching strategies, it ensures that every student can develop in the learning environment that best suits them.

幼儿园分层教学是指在日常学习过程中，学校根据孩子的认知能力、学习能力、兴趣爱好等因素，将他们分成不同的层次进行教学，以满足每个孩子的学习需求，进而提高教学效果。通过个性化的教学策略，确保每个学生都能在自己最适合的学习环境中得到发展。

In the Early Years, Differentiated Learning becomes particularly crucial as it enables a more precise addressing of each student's learning needs and developmental levels across various subjects, including Reading, Chinese, English, and Maths. When integrated into these subjects, adopting a group-based teaching model not only fosters children's ability to collaborate and work together, but also enhances their overall competencies. Through this learning model, the teaching team can more effectively monitor each student's learning progress and achievements.

在幼儿园阶段，分层教学显得尤为重要，因为它能够更精准地满足每个幼儿在不同领域（如阅读、中文、英文、数学）的学习需求和发展水平。当分层教学融入这些学科时，通过采用小组式的教学模式，不仅帮助孩子们发展团队协作与合作的能力，提升了他们的综合能力。同时，在这种学习模式的推动下，教学团队能够更有效地关注每位学生的学习进度与成果。

The Six Transdisciplinary Themes are the core components of the IB curriculum framework, providing students with a comprehensive perspective on learning and encouraging them to think and solve problems across disciplines. In the Early Years, this educational philosophy is practiced through the in-depth exploration of one theme every 6-7 weeks, making the learning process full of fun and exploration.

六大超学科主题（Transdisciplinary Themes）是IB课程框架中的核心组成部分，为学生的学习提供了一个综合性的视角，鼓励学生跨学科地思考和解决问题。在幼儿园阶段，这一教育理念得以生动实践，通过每6-7周深入探究一个主题的方式，让学习过程充满乐趣与探索。

These themes not only permeate all subjects and grades of the IB curriculum but also provide students with a comprehensive learning framework that fosters their global perspective, cross-cultural communication skills, and critical thinking abilities. Through the process of learning through play and exploration, students gradually deepen their understanding of themselves, others, and the world, laying a solid foundation for their future learning and life. This promotes their all-round development and prepares them to be leading talents and pioneers for the future.

这六大主题不仅贯穿IB课程的各个学科和年级，还为学生搭建了一个全面的学习框架，培养他们的全球视野、跨文化交流能力以及批判性思维能力。在寓教于乐的探索过程中，学生们逐渐深化了对自我、他人及世界的理解，为未来的学习和生活奠定了坚实的基础，促进了他们的全面发展，成为规则的更新者和制定者。

Based on the Unit of Inquiry (UOI), the school organises students to conduct field trips in various locations. Through practical activities and experiences, students' various abilities and qualities are enhanced comprehensively. Field trips not only allow students to step out of the classroom and get close to nature and society, but also subtly stimulate their curiosity, desire for exploration, and innovative capabilities.

根据各年级当下探究单元学习的内容，学校组织学生前往不同的地方进行户外探究学习。通过实践活动与体验，全方位地提升学生的各项能力和素养。户外探究学习不仅让学生走出教室，亲近自然与社会，更在无形中激发了他们的好奇心、探索欲、创新能力。

In the Early Years, math classes are centered around Number, Shape, Space and Measure. Children solve problems, including doubling, halving and sharing. They use everyday language to talk about size, weight, capacity, position, distance, time and money to compare quantities and objects and to solve problems. They recognise, create and describe patterns. They explore characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them. Starting from the EY4, Singapore math textbooks and workbooks are adopted to assist in daily math instruction.

在幼儿园阶段，数学课围绕着数字、形状、空间和尺寸开展。学生能够用数学用语表达大小，重量，体积，方位，距离，时间和钱币并作比较和解决问题，识别、创造和描述规律。他们探索日常事物和形状的特征，并用数学语言来描述它们。大班（EY4）开始采用新加坡数学教材与练习册来辅助日常数学教学。
