Established Learning.
Years 1–2 — building bilingual literacy, numeracy, and the habit of asking good questions.
Stage focus
Foundations that hold.
Established Learning is the first stage of PBS Primary. The focus is on laying solid foundations — in literacy, numeracy, and in the habits of mind that good learners need.
Children move from K3 into Year 1 with a structured handover that protects continuity. The curriculum is project-based, but with explicit phonics, number sense, and reading instruction running alongside.
- Synthetic phonics in English; matra-based phonics in Thai
- Concrete-pictorial-abstract maths progression
- Reading aloud daily; independent reading by mid-Year 2
- Theme studies that integrate science, social studies and the arts
