Chadwick International has announced the opening of its pre-kindergarten program for the 2011-12 school year, and will start receiving applications from prospective students on April 4.

Chadwick International’s Pre-Kindergarten program will open its doors for expat students and also local students who have no experience of overseas education.

The program will maintain a 1:6 teacher to student ratio with the class led by two English speaking teachers and one bilingual assistant using the International Baccalaureate’s Primary Years Program as its core curriculum.

Chadwick International is currently a Primary Years Program (PYP) candidate school.

The program focuses on the development of the child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the outside world. Early learners enrolled in Chadwick’s PYP program (designed for students aged 3 to 12) will be endorsing the world’s most widely used and fastest growing educational philosophy.

“Our aim will be to ensure that all children in our care are happy, confident, curious, and enthusiastic about life. The strengths of this program will consist of a quality curriculum that is connected to four trans-disciplinary themes that reach across all subject areas throughout the curriculum,” said Richard Warmington, president of Chadwick International. “Also, students will participate in single subject classes with teachers who specialize in that specific area of knowledge.”

Chadwick International will hold an information session on April 21 at the Songdo campus. For more information, visit http://ciprek.eventbrite.com or send an email to admissions@chadwickinternational.org or call (032) 250-5031.
