The Kairos philosophy for co-curricular development is summarized by: “Opportunity, Development, and Enjoyment.” Our programs, designed for all age groups, help students take advantage of the varied opportunities available, develop their sports skills to achieve their personal goals, and enjoy physical activity so that it becomes a positive, lifelong habit. We promote essential values such as sportsmanship, integrity, respect, effort, teamwork, and humility, fostering not only athletic abilities but also personal growth and character development.
Fostering a Flourishing Disposition for Independent Thinking and Expression
The art and design curriculum encourages children to interpret various art movements, including Cubism, Impressionism, Modern Art, and Surrealism, from their own perspectives. Different techniques—such as sketching, charcoal, oil pastels, paints, clay, and photography—are explored. Art and design provide learners with a platform to express themselves, sparking imagination, creativity, and the development of transferable skills. Students explore and push boundaries to become reflective, critical, and decisive thinkers. They also learn how to articulate personal responses to their experiences.
Music is food for the soul, and that’s why it occupies a central role in the daily life of our pupils. Our music curriculum is designed to promote the musical development of all students, exposing their innate talents and allowing others to experiment and experience music with enthusiasm. The finer nuances of music, including pitch, rhythm, beat, and the sounds of
different instruments, are taught to the students. We encourage our learners to think critically and creatively as musicians, providing them with opportunities to apply their knowledge, understanding, and skills in various contexts.
Music fosters creativity and builds confidence. It helps learners express themselves and shows them the importance of communication as they connect with other musicians and audiences.
Keeping in tune with times, Kairos International School integrates technology into its music curriculum.
Learners explore music as performers, composers and informed listeners. They make, understand and appreciate music from different cultures, times and places, helping them to develop leadership and collaboration skills as well as self-confidence.
Cambridge Primary Music learners:
Cambridge Primary Music is designed to be flexible so learners can perform through singing and playing musical instruments of any kind (as well as found objects and music technology). We recommend that learners experience music from their own culture as well as explore music from other times and places.
The programme is designed to complement, rather than replace, instrumental or singing lessons. Technology is an essential part of music-making today. The internet provides learners with instant access to all forms of music and different kinds of musical instruction and performance. Our learners can use music software to create and manipulate their own and others’ music at the Lower secondary level. They can also use software to build and refine skills in using music notation.
