Learning
Welcome to Secondary School of the
International School of Gabon, Ecole Ruban Vert.
For ERV Years 7, 8, 9 we follow the framework provided by the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC).
Learning is based around themes, or ‘Big Ideas’, on topics such as Identity, Balance, Discovery, Renewal. These ‘Big Ideas’ are applied in the wide range of subjects we offer students. Students cover six Big Ideas per year. At the start of each half termly topic students reflect on the given theme via an ‘Entry Point’. They then present their overall learning at the end of each half term through an ‘Exit Point’ exhibition or project, which they share with the rest of the Secondary school via our assemblies.
Years 10-11 International GCSE General Certificate of Secondary Education (for students aged 14-16 years). ERV students in Years 10-11 follow the Edexcel International GCSE examinations in all subjects (except Music and P.E. which are GCSE). Further information is available on the Edexcel International GCSE website.
Years 12-13 International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (for students aged 16-18 years). Please see the separate handbook for the IB Diploma pre university programme.
