School Curriculum
The school delivers a curriculum designed to meet the needs of each student through the application of Nepal’s National Curriculum. The curriculum is taught through the Developmental Interactive Approach. English is the medium of instruction.
The primary curriculum includes the core areas of learning and experience: English and Nepali Language and Literacy, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Health and Physical Education, Creative and Expressive Arts, Information and Communications Technology and Vocational Education.
Students go out of school to extend their knowledge and experience through educational field trips. This provides a direct first-hand experience in learning as well as providing a stimulus for work in the classroom.
In teaching English a high priority is placed on all aspects of literacy; speaking, listening, reading and writing, spelling and handwriting.
Art, music and drama rooms develop a student’s creativity, and confidence. Ullens School places an emphasis on increasing student’s performance skills.
Each term during Curriculum Night parents are informed of their child’s grade curriculum. At the end of each school year a Curriculum Committee reviews each grade level curriculum in relation to "Best Teaching Practices" used throughout the year and student academic performance. Changes to the curriculum are made accordingly.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or curriculum:
“I go to school to youth to learn the future.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
