As learners in the Junior School, children experience true
enjoyment of learning and are encouraged to think critically and
solve problems individually and within learning groups.
Following the International Primary Curriculum, students learn
to ask questions, reflect on their learning, celebrate diversity
and reach a high standard of academic achievement.
Our teaching staff is committed to building a learning community that fosters creativity, leadership, kindness and a life-long
love of learning.
Students follow an established and research-based program
of study that includes Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop, the
Singapore approach to Mathematics, and the International
Primary Curriculum, which integrates inquiry-based units in
Science, History, Geography, Art, Technology, and International Understanding. Students learn to utilize state-of- the-art
integrated technology with confidence and responsibility, and
build rich connections to the Hamburg community through
local trips and outdoor education. All Junior School students
experience a cross-curricular program that includes specialist
lessons in Music, German, Physical Education, Library Skills,
and Information and Communication Technology. An extensive English as an Additional Language program provides our

Our Student Support Services Team undertakes screening of
children with particular learning difficulties in order to ensure
their unique needs can be supported and developed.
Together, the Junior School is a community of students,

learning, the culture of caring, and the celebration of everyone’s potential!
