The Curriculum taught at Bellfield College is devised to give our students the best of liberal education, opening minds and hearts to the very best that human civilisation has to offer. Excellence is fostered in every dimension of school life and particularly in studies. Responsibility in studies is a key to character development. Students are encouraged to work hard and to be personally responsible.
Personalised Mentor Programs help students to be self-motivated and to become excellent persons. This teamwork of true professionals based on trust, gives each student an optimum opportunity to achieve their potential and to make a worthwhile contribution to the world. This is manifested in an ongoing quest for knowledge and behaviour which bespeaks loyalty, integrity, love for Allah (swt) and a commitment to truth. Our children are needed at the forefront of progress to contribute to the humanisation of the world. It is hoped that the students at Bellfield College will take the lead with their fine minds and loving hearts as they strive to be excellent persons. These objectives can only be achieved through quality education. Research into how children learn, how the brain functions and insights into pedagogical processes have pointed to a process of “inquiry” as an effective way of learning. Inquiry- based learning promotes thought processes. The total language arts program taught at Bellfield College, with its multi-sensory approach, reflects all aspects of this theoretical framework. It recognises the need for students to understand the mechanics of spelling and grammar and hence actively engages their intellect. It integrates the teaching of the various language strands- listening, speaking, writing, reading and comprehension, appealing to all learning styles. It demands clear thinking and promotes higher-level thinking skills. The benefits to other subjects are evident, as the ability to solve problems, to decode and comprehend a new range of vocabulary are essential. The Spalding Method is a total language arts approach because it provides explicit, sequential, multisensory instruction in spelling (including phonics and handwriting), writing, and listening/reading and comprehension. Spalding instruction develops critical thinking skills applicable across the curriculum. It enables teachers to plan lessons based on continuous assessment of individual needs. Visit here.
