INT’L Secondary:
The secondary school day consists of seven 40-minute periods divided into two, three, and two periods by a morning break and by lunch. Students have a form tutor with whom they spend the first 10 minutes of every day.
We have a two-week repeating schedule of classes; students move from room to room for lessons given by specialist teachers.
We have a wide range of lunchtime and after-school activities. In addition, we have extensive support for students who need to improve their English language skills and for students who have additional learning needs.
Despite being a non-selective school, Oxford International School consistently has IGCSE and IBDP results that exceed the worldwide average.
Our former students report that they are very well prepared for transitioning into other schools and for University life compared to their peers from other schools. Amongst other things, we attribute this to;
Small class sizes - a maximum of 15 and often considerably less in IGCSE and IBDP classes.
Our staff-to-student ratio is better than 1 to 6
Experienced staff - well-qualified and experienced teachers from around the world
Broad British International Curriculum - all curriculum areas are strongly represented within the curriculum; we have a strong creative arts and sports programme.
A friendly, caring environment that promotes inclusion and wellbeing
What is the meaning of PBL?
The PBL methodology, or Problem-Based Learning, is an instructional approach that emphasizes learning through real-world problem-solving. In PBL, students are presented with complex, open-ended problems or scenarios that require them to apply their knowledge and skills to find solutions. Rather than passively receiving information from teachers, students actively engage in inquiry, research, and collaboration to address the problem at hand.
Key features of PBL include:
1. Authentic Problems:
Through partnerships with local organizations and charities, our students actively participate in initiatives aimed at addressing community needs. From organizing food drives and clothing donations to volunteering at shelters and nursing homes, our students learn the importance of empathy and solidarity firsthand.
2. Inquiry and Investigation:
PBL encourages students to ask questions, conduct research, and explore multiple perspectives to develop a deeper understanding of the problem and potential solutions.
3. Collaboration:
PBL promotes collaborative learning, with students working in teams to brainstorm ideas, share expertise, and solve problems together.
4. Reflection:
Throughout the PBL process, students reflect on their learning experiences, assess their progress, and identify areas for improvement, promoting metacognitive skills development.
5. Application of Knowledge and Skills:
PBL encourages students to apply knowledge and skills from multiple disciplines to solve complex problems, promoting critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.
Overall, PBL shifts the focus of education from memorization of facts to the application of knowledge in meaningful contexts, preparing students for success in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
