Middle School

Australian Middle School Curriculum

With the goal of training students to become global citizens, capable of independent thinking and self-development, Scotch AGS – 100-year-old Australian School, offers a diverse, active, focused educational program into experiential learning and developing social, creative, and leadership skills. At the same time, the school also helps students develop the life skills needed to meet the challenges of the future.

The training philosophy at Scotch AGS not only exploits the knowledge but also puts parents in the position of companions in the development of students. The school creates favorable conditions for parents to be with their children in their learning journey, as well as periodically monitoring and giving feedback on the ability of each student. This combination helps students develop in accordance with their own strengths.

Highlights of ACARA Curriculum

Developing critical thinking

The skill of critical thinking finds application in many subjects as well as everyday life. By enabling individuals to distinguish between right and wrong, approach problems flexibly, and accurately analyze and synthesize information, critical thinking promotes the development of problem-solving, persuasive, and creative abilities. In secondary education, subjects are taught using project-based and group assignment-oriented methods, providing students with ample opportunities to collaborate and learn from each other, thereby cultivating their ability to analyze and synthesize information and fostering creative thinking.

Increasing the chance of real experience

By applying STEM (integrated Mathematics, Engineering, Science and Technology) in the teaching method, after the lessons, students can self-apply the knowledge they have learned in real life. The way to convey knowledge through STEM is not heavy on academic theory but very close and friendly. Combined with both learning and practice, students will acquire knowledge faster and remember longer, especially in subjects that require experience and experimentation such as Science, Technology, Math,…

Cultivating cooperation and problem-solving skills

Teamwork is one of the important skills, especially in an international school environment where students need to communicate in many different languages and have cross-cultural exposure. Therefore, the training program is designed to help students cooperate and research on their own, form and develop teamwork to find solutions to problems, record information, write reports, presentations, etc. Through this, students are trained to behave, coordinate with group members, improve teamwork.

Promoting Physical Education

Physical Education is a priority training field for middle level, especially in team and cooperative subjects….During this period, children thrive in both health and intelligence. Therefore, the learning environment at Scotch AGS is specially designed with many spaces for physical activities such as football, basketball, swimming, etc. In addition, the school also creates conditions for children to practice their existing sports talents to develop into talents for competition and performance.

Shaping your favorite field

From grade 9, in addition to the 8 required courses in the ACARA program, Australian international middle school students will have an additional subject in Work Studies. At this stage, students are given the opportunity to choose their favorite fields, thereby shaping their personal career interests, easily orienting themselves for high school, university and the future. 

Monitoring the quality of student learning by technology

With the goal of helping parents accompany their students’ development, Scotch AGS uses the SEQTA platform – a modern educational management system, widely used in more than 2200 schools globally, with more than 395,000 students using it. This system acts as a bridge connecting the school, parents and students. Information about learning, assignments, schedule, assessment and feedback will be shared transparently, making learning support easier and more effective than ever.
