Our Curriculum

Because of the GE-WS’ African international school community, the school will offer an international curriculum that is recognized in every African country such as the Cambridge Assessment International Education. Our students will have the opportunity to be assessed through the Cambridge IGCSE, O-Level and A-Levels, after which they are placed in universities in either their home countries, or on the African continent.

GE-WS will offer a STEAM-oriented curriculum, and also hold frequent student-led research & innovation symposiums, to ignite a passion for STEAM - geared towards providing African solutions to African problems. GE-WS will run a research center in collaboration with colleges of education from around Africa, and the world, in order to find the best teaching practices, and pedagogy for K-12 education in Africa.

Sustainability in the Curriculum
GE-WS will integrate Climate Change, carbon neutral living and all other tenets under environmental protection with the school’s main formal curriculum. Learning will be practical and as such, students will be given a host of opportunities to acquire practical hands-on skills in conservation of nature, and environmental protection including but not limited to Energy and Water Conservation, eco-friendly architecture and production of eco-friendly building materials, carbon neutral organic food production, recycling, lifestyle choices, money and jobs, Erosion and Accretion and all the various tenets in the United Nations guide document for Integrating Climate Change in Education at Primary and Secondary Level.
