Building on the foundation laid in the primary years, the Middle School program at WZIS, guided by the Cambridge Lower Secondary curriculum, offers bobaes aged 11-14 a comprehensive and challenging educational experience. This program is designed to deepen bobaes' knowledge in core subjects while fostering the critical thinking and independent learning skills essential for their academic and personal growth.

The Cambridge Lower Secondary curriculum at WZIS emphasizes a spiral approach to learning, where bobaes build upon their previous knowledge, reinforcing and expanding their understanding as they progress. This method ensures that bobaes are well-prepared for the rigors of the Cambridge Upper Secondary program and beyond.

During Middle School, bobaes at WZIS engage in a broad range of subjects that provide a balanced and holistic education. The courses covered during this time include:

• English & Mandarin: Developing advanced literacy skills, with a focus on comprehension, analysis, and effective communication.

• Mathematics: Emphasizing critical thinking, problem-solving, and the application of mathematical concepts to real-world scenarios.

• Science: Covering key scientific principles in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, encouraging inquiry and hands-on experimentation.

• Computing: Teaching digital literacy, programming, and the responsible use of technology.

• Art & Design: Fostering creativity and self-expression through various artistic mediums and design processes.

• Wellbeing: Promoting physical, emotional, and social health, and helping bobaes develop the skills needed for a balanced lifestyle.

• Music: Enhancing musical skills and appreciation, with opportunities for bobaes to participate in the school’s Orchestra or other musical ensembles.

The curriculum also supports multilingual education, with a strong emphasis on English language development, while also offering additional language options. This focus on language skills is crucial for preparing bobaes to thrive in an increasingly globalized world.

At WZIS, our Middle School program not only aims to provide academic excellence but also to cultivate responsible, reflective, and engaged learners who are ready to take on the challenges of higher education and beyond. Through this balanced and rigorous curriculum, bobaes are encouraged to explore their interests, develop their talents, and grow into well-rounded individuals prepared for the future.
