Choose your curriculum

Choice is important and so is flexibility.  That’s why we provide two curriculum models and the technology you need to shape them to meet the unique needs of your school.

 

Option 1:  A sequenced curriculum rich in skills and knowledge. Perfect for those schools who want an ambitious, well-structured curriculum. This is especially good for those schools looking to raise standards quickly and efficiently.

 

Option 2: A more flexible, creative and thematic curriculum that allows schools to sequence it according to their needs. Ideal for schools needing a little more flexibility and adaptability. This is especially good for those wanting to inject more creativity and innovation into their curriculum.

Cornerstones' 10 big ideas

Big ideas

While our curriculum models differ in their approach, both are based on ten Big Ideas. These macro concepts ensure the curriculum has a purpose, intent, and well-defined learning outcomes. This is ideal for UK schools wanting to give children a more global perspective and for international schools looking to consolidate their school curriculum across local and international programmes.

“Our previous curriculum wasn't sequential at all. It jumped all over the place. As there were no flow, children were not able to make any links from prior learning. Whereas now, children are already making links!”
