At McCarthy Hill School, our Early Years curriculum blends the globally recognized Pearson Edexcel framework with local content tailored to meet the unique needs and cultural context of our students in Ghana. Designed to provide a solid foundation for lifelong learning, our curriculum integrates the best practices in early childhood education with the rich diversity of our local environment.
The Pearson Edexcel curriculum serves as the cornerstone of our Early Years program, offering a comprehensive framework that encompasses all areas of development, including cognitive, physical, social, and emotional domains. Through a combination of structured lessons and play-based activities, we focus on building essential skills and competencies in literacy, numeracy, communication, and critical thinking.
In addition to the Pearson Edexcel curriculum, our Early Years program incorporates elements of Ghanaian culture, traditions, and values to create a culturally responsive learning experience for our students. Through stories, songs, and hands-on activities, children are exposed to the rich tapestry of Ghanaian heritage, fostering a sense of pride and belonging in their cultural identity.
At McCarthy Hill School, we believe that early childhood education should be engaging, meaningful, and relevant to the lives of our students. By blending the best of global educational standards with local content and context, we ensure that our Early Years curriculum not only meets international benchmarks but also reflects the unique cultural heritage of Ghana, preparing our young learners for success in an increasingly interconnected world.
