Why MAKSON Primary Years Programme?
High Quality
International Programme
International Primary Curriculum (IPC) is used as a tool to inspire, motivate, discover and explore student talent and potential. Learning is approached through themes. Our Programme helps children understand themselves as learners, develop their learning habits and develop skills for life-long learning. IPC also encourages curiosity, researching and understanding the world as well as inspires international mindedness.
In addition to IPC, MAKSON International Academy, uses Oxford Mathematics and English Language Arts to make students ready for their Middle Year and Beyond.
Fully Accredited
Cambodia National Programme Plus General Chinese Programme
At MAKSON International Academy, we equally focus on our national curriculum as much as our international one. We carefully and creatively design our programme using the framework of MoEYS. As for the methodology, we encourage our teachers to use the new generation school approaches for both teaching and assessment of learning.
Chinese language is embedded into the national programme and students will be learning one session daily or 5 sessions per week.
21st Century Skills
Development Programme
MAKSON Primary students are taught both fundamental skills and 21st Century Skills and are continually encouraged to take an increasing responsibility for their own learning and assume more accountability for their own behaviour, so that they can make the right choices and develop as responsible young people.
Character Building, Growth Mindset, Financial Literacy, Leadership and Entrepreneurship, Digital Literacy are among our 21st century skills development programmes.
Great Learning Environment
MAKSON provides an engaging and stimulating environment where children participate in challenging learning experiences, work co-operatively and independently, develop friendships and social skills, take part in physical activities and develop into successful students and life-long learners.
we encourage the children to develop good learning behaviour as well as good manners and habits. These attitudes are introduced through School Assemblies and termly focus so that children continuously develop an understanding of learning capabilities such as collaboration, persistence, imagination and making links.
Assessment and International Checkpoints
Each student's progress is first monitored through assessment for learning within lessons. Teachers offer feedback on homework and projects when independent learning has been completed. Progress is reported formally to parents with two written reports each year, Parent and Teacher conferences and Student-Led Conferences but parents are welcome to discuss their child's progress with teachers at more frequent intervals
On top of above ongoing assessment and feedback, MAKSON also use international assessment from the UK to benchmark our student's learning and offer the appropriate intervention both within academic year and each checkpoint.
