Cultivating Excellence and Character Through the Virtues Curriculum
School life and curricula at Creative Science Schools are underpinned by the ISCS Integrated Virtues Curriculum. The virtues are integrative in nature, in that they help provide depth, context and real-life application for students, rather than theoretical knowledge. Teachers are required to embody these values through their curriculum, nurturing morally guided students. The Virtues tree helps articulate our commitment to nurturing students with strong foundations, upright character and spiritual excellence.
Excellence
Spiritual, aesthetic, mental and physical flourishing
Good Character
Nurturing individual and collective actions driven by a moral framework making the world a better and safer place to be.
Faith Through Knowledge
A strong and coherent system of knowledge for children about themselves, the creator, the universe and their place within it.
Within each of these principles, lies a number of themes which are elaborated in Virtues Curriculum booklet. This menu of themes provides the basis in which curriculum standards from the English National Curriculum and Ministry of Education, as well as ready made plans with pre-defined topics, can be woven together to provide an education programme to develop the whole child. It also provides key opportunities for the integration of cross curricular teaching, Bahraini culture, Islamic values, innovation, learning skills and entrepreneurship.
