This will give our Secondary teachers the ability to effectively meet the needs of their students using age-appropriate methods, and it is the same with Primary. Having a Pastoral Coordinator within both schools ensures that student well-being and student care are always at the forefront. We can offer programmes that support not just their academic prowess but also their socio-emotional development. Having a Teaching and Learning Coordinator means that we have alignment within the three different school levels from Early Childhood to Primary to Secondary, allowing for a curriculum that is continuous, well-planned and rigorous. This supports students in realising their full potential academically.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One World International School has unveiled a new organisation structure for the academic leadership team at our Nanyang and Suntec campuses.
