What we Teach

At Equatorial College School we teach both Art and Science Subjects both at O’ Level and A’ level .

Religion: Education is at the service of ‘human maturity’. It aims at the most complete achievement of varied activity expressing the potentialities of students in the context of their social environment.

The general objectives of religious education is to transmit, evoke and acquire knowledge, attitudes, values, skills and sensibilities according to the mind, values and sensibilities of God the creator.  Religion is used as the service of the art of life in the religious dimension. Though the core of the religious message is not primarily the ethical dimension, yet the religious message finds its concrete expression in character formation and good behavior.

English: A good level of both English is necessary for good communication. This interaction between sender and receiver occurs very clearly in spoken communications, yet this process characterizes itself in written communication as well. Reading is also a process of negotiation. This highly complex activity involves knowledge, abilities and skills. Students make sense of experience by learning to ask the right questions and by talking or writing about it. It is through language that students come to explore other areas of knowledge in the school curriculum by exercising the communication abilities i.e. interpretation, expression, negotiation and practice.
Initially, the teaching of English as a standard language is based also on an informal communicative approach, where we offer plenty of opportunities for learning through activity.

Spoken English: Students are encouraged to speak in English about various topics in order to promote a growing ability in listening and speaking. Hence the importance of storytelling, where students learn to listen to a story and later talk about what they would have listened to;

Mathematics: In order that students grow to love Mathematics, the subject is taught in a concrete, practical and active way as much as possible. Students are more likely to develop mathematical concepts that will help them for later on at school if they can associate what they learn with real life experiences. Mathematics introduces our students to logical and clarity of thought.
