FALCON PROGRAMME

Fairview Falcon Programme

The Fairview Falcon Programme (FFP) is a character-building programme designed to nurture young learners to be strong-willed, independent, and courageous.

The FFP is designed to provide significant well-rounded character-building and values development experiences for all from Primary Year 4 to Middle Year 5 students.

Students are motivated to participate in school activities that will ultimately allow them to achieve the Fairview Falcon Awards!

Why the Middle Years Programme?

The programme:

Encourages international-mindedness in IB students, starting with a foundation in their own language and culture.
Encourages a positive attitude to learning by challenging students to solve problems, show creativity and resourcefulness as well as actively participate in the community.
Reflects real life by providing a framework that allows students to see the connections among the subjects themselves and real life issues.
Supports the development of communication and collaboration skills to encourage inquiry, understanding, language acquisition, and to allow student reflection and expression.
Emphasizes, through the learner profile, the development of the whole student – physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically.

The MYP Curriculum

Students are taught to embrace and understand connections between traditional subjects and the real world so that they become critical and reflective thinkers. Eight subject groups are integrated with five areas of interaction, creating a framework for learning within and across these subjects:

Final year personal project.

MYP Subjects

These subjects are then organized in the curriculum through 5 areas of interaction:

Community and Service.
Human ingenuity.
Environment.
Health and Social Education.
