How do international schools adapt UK curriculum themes?

·

International schools typically adapt themes by keeping the core learning intentions and skills progression the same, while localising:

  • Texts and stimuli (swap in locally relevant stories, non-fiction, case studies)
  • Examples and comparisons (use local geography, history, wildlife, landmarks)
  • Visitors and enrichment (museums, community speakers, local cultural events)
  • Outcomes and audiences (write for real local purposes: school community, charities, local environment projects)

The key is: retain the learning goal, adapt the context.
