Project / Presentation
Each day of the week, through project-based learning, students will research a different driving question, with each topic lasting between 10 and 19 weeks. Over the course of the project, students will develop self-expression, critical thinking and a spirit of inquiry that will help them to construct a presentation to share the knowledge they have acquired with their parents and peers. CGK’s philosophy of student led learning is present throughout all projects, with students taking charge of their own learning by deciding the direction of their projects and researching areas that interest them. Teachers proactively respond to the student’s inquiry and support them in their learning. Where appropriate, students will have the opportunity to share their progress with their peers through presentations and receive constructive feedback.

Learning Centers
different kinds of learning centers are available for students to investigate further whatever interests them, thereby encouraging independent activities. Students are allowed to rotate from center to center and if the teacher thinks it appropriate, they may ask students to work with them together in a center they feel will benefit them.
<Examples of Learning Centers>
- Reading Center - Free reading or taking part in a reading club.
- Writing Center - Various writing activities are available such as creating an original story or comic, working on a diary etc.

18:00-19:30 Advanced Course *optional program from 5th grade*
The advanced course aims to address the busier schedules and different needs of older students by providing a shorter and more academically challenging environment to continue supporting language (English) development and critical thinking skills throughout upper elementary school and into junior high school. The advanced course will continue to follow CGK’s tried and tested project based learning principles of student directed enquiry, but the older age of the students will allow for more in depth enquiry and discussion of more mature subject matter. Like the regular Afterschool course the advanced course will consist of a driving question that over a set period of weeks will act as the springboard for student lead learning and enquiry culminating in a presentation.
The advanced course takes place after the regular Afterschool project time has finished and the smaller class size, and higher maturity levels of the students will allow the teacher to offer targeted support and guidance when appropriate while letting students dive deeper into material that interests them.
Although we don’t plan to directly teach grammar points, the nature of the course allows relevant vocabulary and grammar to be explored naturally and discussed in depth. Over the course of their enquiries students will work towards presenting the knowledge they have acquired in a presentation of their choosing that can be shared with parents. During this time students will have the opportunity to use the vocabulary and grammar points that have arisen during their enquiries in their final presentations.
The advanced course consists of up to 90 minutes of project time with the flexibility of up to 15 minutes free time.
Please note that the advanced course is not part of the normal afterschool program and is an optional course with an additional fee.
