Active Learning.
The Kindergarten years — building active thinking, awareness, and the bilingual habit.
What it is
A curriculum built on thinking.
Active Learning is the foundation of the PBS Kindergarten programme. The approach emphasises the development of critical and creative thinking through three core principles:
- Developing thinking skills — fostering metacognition to help children understand and reflect on their own thought processes.
- Thinking in action — translating ideas and thought processes into practical applications.
- Awareness of impact — recognising how thoughts influence themselves, others, society and the world.
