How do we become
BORDERLESS?
Curriculum Mapping
Teachers plan and teach subjects collaboratively. This promotes deeper learning.
Tertiary Partnerships And Courses
Alma Mater offers courses from private universities to promote additional skills. School-university partnerships offer inter-collaborative opportunities to further leadership and research skills in our students.
University Internships
We promote internship opportunities for example, students spend three weeks at the Shibaura Institute of Technology in Tokyo working on a research project under the guidance of one of their professors. In 2020 internships from Yale and the University of British Columbia were added but Covid-19 prevented attendance.
Promoting An International Mindedness
At Alma Mater, we focus on establishing a learning environment of cultural and linguistic diversity in support of the development of an international perspective. Alma Mater’s pedagogy is an action-oriented approach through fun resume building programmes.

International Teaching
We aim to employ international teaching staff, who have received their master’s degree or Ph.D. We expect our staff to not only have real world experience in their field of expertise but promote a gateway to develop a student in their subject.
Technology
Using Technology that is used across all borders and countries, for example MS Teams.
IPQ
The International Project Qualification is a research project completed by every student in the field of their choice and submitted to Cambridge to achieve an additional qualification to their traditional A Levels. In completing their IPQ we encourage our learners to collaborate with top universities all over the world.
Deep Learning
Refers to the cognitive skills and academic knowledge that students need to succeed in the 21st century. These skills include critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration and learning to learn. The mastery of these skills enables students to think flexibly and creatively, transferring and applying their learning from one context to new situations.

Inter-disciplinary Application:
“Most students have difficulty transferring what they learn within the disciplinary boundaries and classroom contexts of school to other disciplines and contexts. If the purpose of school is to teach students material that they can use later, one would want them to apply what they have learned across school subjects and, ultimately, in their everyday lives” – Unknown
Global Citizenship
Global citizenship is the idea that one’s identity transcends geography or political borders and that responsibilities or rights are derived from membership in a broader class: “Humanity”. This does not mean that such a person denounces or waives their nationality or other, more local identities, but that such identities are given “second place” to their membership in a global community.
