Academics at The Eden School
At The Eden School, learning is a journey of discovery, growth, and excellence. Rooted in the globally respected Cambridge curriculum, our academic programme spans from Cherry Blossom (Early Years) to A Level in Year 13—offering students a coherent, challenging, and nurturing pathway. We believe that every child is capable of remarkable achievement when supported with high expectations, personalised guidance, and a joyful learning environment.
The Infant School
The Infant School caters to children aged between 6 months and 5 years and currently comprises the following:
• Cherry Blossom classes (6 months and above)
• Nursery classes (Children must be 3 years on or before October)
• Pre- K Classes (Children must be 4yrs on or before October)
• Reception Classes (Children must be 5yrs on or before October)
This division corresponds to the Early Years Foundation Stage of the Cambridge System.
There are approximately 130 students of different nationalities on the roll, taught by about 20 teachers, teaching assistants and Nannies.
In addition to the decorated classrooms, children have access to the Sports field, a playground, play areas, and a cafeteria.
The Primary School
The Primary School caters to students from year 1 to year 6 (6- to 11-year-olds). The core subjects of English, Mathematics and Science follow the internationally recognised Cambridge curriculum while other subjects such as History and Geography follow the English National Curriculum with complimentary infusions and components from Ghana.
Our students in year 6 write the Cambridge Primary Checkpoint Examinations in English, Mathematics and Science in the month of April. The papers are marked externally in the UK and allow the School to benchmark its achievements against other Cambridge Schools around the world. All students receive diagnostic feedback on their individual performance.
Students in year 1, 2 and 3 are taught Mathematics, English, Science and PSHE by their class teachers. Subject specialists teach French, Music, Art, Physical Education and Information Technology.
Students in Years 4 to 6 are taught by subject specialists in all subjects.
The Primary School aims to expose our students beyond the classroom. We do this by incorporating extra-curricular activities, field trips and other internal and external programmes to our core activities.
