We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

Sekolah Stella Mundi curriculum is multi-faceted, multi-lingual and dynamic, drawing upon years of research into best practice from around the world.

A truly effective curriculum is one that is most sensitive and able to adapt to the changing developmental needs of the child. It is continuously under careful review and inspection by our administrators, our educators and our students.

Our Early Learning Centre uses the Australian curriculum Belonging, Being and Becoming. Starting from Kindergarten B to Primary, we offer a combined Kurikulum Nasional and Cambridge. We also include enrichment programs delivered using a teaching pedagogy that focuses on the whole child’s development.

We believe that the child is the director of their own learning, and educators and the environment are facilitators of that learning.

Sekolah Stella Mundi uses the interests of the child as the backbone of their learning to create meaningful and stimulating play and project-based experiences for the children.

We develop programs which educate the whole child, not just their academic self, through intentional and personalised learning experiences that challenge them socially, emotionally, verbally, cognitively and physically. Through the setting up of appropriate learning spaces, recognising the importance of and allowing for play, and being acutely aware of when to change from instructors to facilitators, as a school we actively listen to each child and plan our programs around their developmental and learning needs.

You and your child are always welcome to visit our Early Learning Centre and Primary and learn more about our way of teaching.
