CANADIAN MIDDLE SCHOOL
SIS Sunway City KL (Canadian - Ontario)
SIS’s student-centric Middle School Programme offers a careful balance of academic rigour with creative interest, along with a strong emphasis on literacy, numeracy, and learning skills to ensure a smooth transition from primary to high school.
Based on Canada’s Ontario curriculum, our students are assessed entirely by the coursework undertaken throughout the semester, which provide our teachers with information on where the students are in terms of achieving curriculum expectations, so our teachers to guide students with alternative learning strategies towards achieving their learning objectives.
Unique to the Ontario curriculum is the teachers’ use of observations, conversations and products to evaluate our students’ learning, where our teachers provide continuous feedback to students and guide them in the direction they need to go.
“We look forward to getting the chance to work with you as part of our Sunway Community, to help our students to grow as individuals.”
SUBJECTS
English – Literacy Focus
The literacy skills students learn are more than just reading and writing; they learn how to communicate in society. As the school prepares them for the future, students learn how to use the English language to communicate effectively, think critically, and make meaningful connections with individuals and communities.
Mathematics – Numeracy Focus
Mathematics in Middle School goes beyond numeracy skills. Students learn how to apply their knowledge and skills across other subject areas. In line with STEM education, students will also develop transferable skills applicable to real-world contexts.
Science & Technology – Empirical Methods and Innovation
Science and technology go beyond understanding concepts covered in a textbook. Students learn to relate the knowledge they gain to society and the environment, while also developing the skills, strategies, and habits of mind needed for scientific inquiry and technological problem-solving.
Social Studies – History, Geography
The knowledge, understanding, and attitudes students develop in social studies, history, and geography nurture them into becoming informed citizens who value an inclusive society. The curriculum helps them develop skills to solve problems and communicate ideas, decisions, and thoughts related to real-life developments and events.
Health & Physical Education – Personal Wellness
The curriculum helps students develop mental health and wellbeing, physical and health literacy, and movement competence that support healthy, active living and character development. Students gain kinesthetic learning opportunities, develop movement skills, and apply movement concepts and strategies in games, sports, dance, and other physical activities.
Languages – Malay, French
The study of additional languages supports the development of language skills and cultural awareness. By learning different languages, students discover unique forms of expression across cultures and learn to communicate with communities both locally and globally.
The Arts – Visual Art, Music, Drama/Dance
The Arts go beyond creative engagement and expressive participation. This subject nourishes and stimulates the imagination, giving students a wider range of tools and techniques to understand the world around them and express themselves in various artistic forms.
MIDDLE SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT FOCUS
- SIS teachers create powerful learning opportunities through an array of in-class and out-of-class activities. Students learn how to tackle real-world issues and are challenged to think creatively and critically
- SIS teachers introduce projects and coursework for students to learn how to work in groups as well as independently. Students develop responsibility for their own learning and are guided on how to actively seek new opportunities for learning and support.
- Assessments happen throughout the semester. This allows learning to be cumulative, current and consistent. Continuous assessments keep students up to date on their scholastic responsibilities.
- SIS provides extra assistance to students from other schools or different education systems. Teachers introduce to them the required learning skills and work habits, including the importance of:
- Responsibility
- Oraganisation
- Independent work
