Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Glenealy School follows the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP), designed for students from Year 1 to Year 6 (ages 5–11). The curriculum is inquiry-based and organised around six transdisciplinary themes, connecting learning across subject areas such as Language, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Arts, and Personal, Social and Physical Education. Students develop key skills and conceptual understanding through Units of Inquiry tailored to their year group. Specialist lessons are provided in Mandarin (Chinese), Music, and Physical Education, delivered by dedicated teachers. Outdoor learning, trips, and community engagement activities complement classroom experiences, helping students apply their learning beyond school. The PYP framework also prepares students for seamless transition into the IB Middle Years Programme within ESF secondary schools.
