Guided by the National Curriculum of England and the International Primary Curriculum, the Primary School at LANNA (Ages 5 - 11) offers a world-class education that nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, and builds a strong academic foundation
Encompassing a wide range of academic and extra-curricular opportunities, LANNA Primary brings out the best of each child with small class sizes, experienced and dedicated teachers and virtually non-existent discipline problems. LANNA students truly enjoy going to school.
The curriculum in LANNA Primary is based on the National Curriculum of England and taught through both the Cambridge Primary Curriculum and the theme based, cross curricular International Primary Curriculum (IPC). By adopting the IPC approach to augment the solid academic framework of the National Curriculum, we recognise that our students come from a wide variety of international and cultural backgrounds and that the pace of change in the world in which they are growing up is fast.
LANNA recognises that English and Mathematics are core subjects and our qualified international teachers adapt the Cambridge Primary Curriculum to align with the learning objectives as set in the UK National Curriculum.
LANNA Primary adopts a broad and balanced curriculum which is supported by a strong team of specialist teachers: Art, Drama, Music, Physical Education (P.E), Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) and Thai. With the exception of Thai, all specialist subjects taught at LANNA use the learning objectives, and in some cases schemes of work, based on the English National Curriculum and may also align with the IPC units being taught.
LANNA Primary teachers develop activities supporting a wide range of individual learning styles. Students learn while working together and while studying independently to prepare them for further study whether they return to their home countries or continue in LANNA’s Secondary School.
This is a particularly critical question for families away from home, where it is hard to know how systems, and standards, compare.
The IPC curriculum that LANNA uses was developed to prepare children to be independent 21st century learners; experienced and equipped to work in cooperation with others, seeing connections between different subject matters, and motivated to ask questions and seek answers using a variety of approaches. Linking subjects through IPC means that children can make different connections in their learning. The more connections the brain can make, the more effectively a child can learn.
In each of LANNA’s curriculum areas, every child is valued and receives positive encouragement to develop their skills. Where appropriate we ensure that lessons are multi-sensory and interactive and therefore encourages the development of well rounded learners.
