The Berwick Grammar School curriculum has been designed to
engage, motivate, challenge and extend the students. In all
areas of the curriculum the focus is on explicitly teaching the
core skills in a boy friendly manner. The boys are encouraged to
experiment, to manipulate, to hypothesise, and to use trial and
error in their learning. The curriculum is designed to be fast
paced and very active, to engage the boys in their most popular
form of communication - touch. BGS students are taught to be
critical thinkers in all areas of the curriculum. A young man
given the skills of Problem Solving and the confidence to use
these skills in a variety of situations puts him on a pathway to
academic and life success. The Primary Years Program (PYP) of
the International Baccalaureate (IB) taught at BGS in Years 5
and 6 works to develop the whole child and builds within them a
passion for learning and the ability to formulate relevant and
exploratory lines of questioning.
