Test Kindergarten
At BCCI, it is our mission to provide each child with a holistic, nurturing, and inspiring learning environment. In Kindergarten, students experience various activities and lifelong learning experiences, providing them with opportunities to develop a God-centered mission, the right character, academic excellence and serve others by being socially, emotionally, spiritually, academically and physically skilled. The BCCI Kindergarten level adopted the US Common Core curriculum through a God-centered integrated approach.
Our Kindergarten program focuses on the students’ happiness, creativity and innovation, problem-solving and critical thinking, collaboration, social skills, and self-help skills. Only when students feel safe and trusting in a conducive environment will they truly be open to exploring and diving into learning new things.
ENGAGING LIFELONG EXPERIENTIAL ACTIVITIES
Experiential learning is an educational approach that emphasizes personal or practical experience in the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes. Students are encouraged to develop a passion for learning and a thirst for knowledge by engaging in authentic experiences that allow them to learn what they need to know.
Throughout the school year, students have the opportunity to engage in a number of activities. These include the following:
CHAPEL
A weekly chapel program (Wednesday mornings from 8:00 to 8:30). Our Kindergarteners feel God’s presence through listening to the Biblical Words of God during Chapel Day. Our young learners develop a love of praying, reading the Bible, and following positive examples from a given theme. These Chapel Time experiences change the way they believe in God and touch their lives religiously and spiritually.
FIELD TRIPS
Play a significant role in a student’s learning process. Doing a meaningful field trip helps spark student’s passion or curiosity. This will push students to take learning into their own hands and build a habit to do it more and heighten their motivation in learning the world around us. Usually by grade and related to specific areas of study. Students learn through visiting and experiencing an environment, activity, or workplace. Followed by a discussion on what interested them and how they might apply that to what they are learning in class.
RECESS
Play is a vital component of a child’s development, and as such, each grade level has two recess periods into the daily schedule. Recesses take place either in our covered area or in the outdoor play area. In the event of excessively hot weather or highly polluted air, the students use our kinesthetic playroom for indoor play.
NAP TIME
(NURSERY TO KINDERGARTEN 2)
Nap time is an important part of their daily routine, providing an opportunity for rest and rejuvenation with their busy day of learning and play. This is designed to help the students wind down from their energetic activities and prepare for a period of peaceful rest.
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
The Kindergarten team firmly believes that each child can experience success. Teachers and support staff are dedicated to displaying the best potential in each student. We have specific and measurable benchmarks at each grade level, but our emphasis is nurturing the unique developmental growth of our early learners. We want them to master concepts fully and reach grade-level benchmarks yet, we are aware that all children develop in their own time and through varied pathways, all beyond the guidance of God’s grace.
CURRICULUM
A Biblically-Integrated U.S. Common Core Curriculum
At BCCI, we provide an international curriculum encompassing a wide range of subjects while integrating biblical principles into the learning experience based on US Common Core standards. Our aim is to equip our students with the necessary tools and knowledge to excel in high school, lay a solid foundation for studying at international universities and career preparedness, and make a meaningful impact on the world as a Christ-centered institution.
The primary language of instruction is English. Additionally, students learn Thai and Chinese, becoming fluent in both languages.
