THE NEW SUBJECTS
WELL-BEING &
GLOBAL SKILLS PROJECTS
New Subjects
To foster 'The Joy of Learning' and to comprehensively prepare students as global citizens, the Oxford International Curriculum supplements traditional subjects (e.g., English, Math, Science) with two vital new courses: WELLBEING and GLOBAL SKILLS PROJECTS.
WELL-BEING
The subject of Joy
The Wellbeing subject, an integral component of the Oxford International Curriculum, empowers students to excel academically while nurturing holistic personal growth and well-being.
Utilizing a spiral teaching methodology, the Wellbeing subject progressively builds on concepts from elementary to secondary levels, thoughtfully adapting content complexity to suit each age group.
As a “non-graded” course that fosters an environment of self-expression, Wellbeing is a cherished and engaging subject for students. By proactively addressing psychological hurdles, students gain the freedom to learn, play, and participate in activities aligned with their unique abilities and passions. Consequently, this holistic approach contributes to elevating their overall academic performance.

GLOBAL SKILLS PROJECTS
The Innovative Subject of the Future
The Global Skills Project, a cornerstone of the Oxford International Curriculum, immerses students in pressing global concerns, including social justice, water scarcity, environmental degradation, the Covid-19 pandemic, and contemporary conflicts. Students leverage this understanding to undertake projects that tackle specific challenges, effecting positive change within their communities.
As they execute these projects, students cultivate a diverse skill set encompassing time management, negotiation, discussion, public speaking, inquiry, and critical analysis—skills that foster their comprehensive growth and prepare them for future leadership roles.
