What is the American curriculum?
The American curriculum is a flexible, student-centered education system widely adopted by international schools across the globe. Based on the Common Core State Standards and enriched by Advanced Placement (AP) courses, it offers a broad-based education that encourages well-rounded development. Students earn a US High School Diploma and can pursue AP exams for college credit, making it particularly advantageous for families considering higher education in the United States.
Approach
The American curriculum is organized into Elementary (K–5), Middle School (6–8), and High School (9–12) levels. It emphasizes a holistic educational experience that combines academics with extracurricular activities, sports, and community service. The GPA (Grade Point Average) system provides continuous assessment rather than relying solely on high-stakes final exams. AP courses allow motivated students to take college-level coursework and potentially earn university credits before graduation.
