The Art

Curriculum

Art and Design, as well as Music, are available from Kindergarten to Grade 12, while Drama and Design Technology are offered from Grade 6 (Middle School) through IGCSE.

Music is a universal language that represents one of the highest forms of creativity. At HeadstartEden International School, we aim to inspire and engage students to develop a passion for music, nurturing their talents as musicians. This process helps to build their confidence, creativity, and sense of accomplishment. As students progress from Kindergarten through Primary and into Secondary School, they develop a deeper, more critical engagement with music, allowing them to compose and listen to the finest pieces of the musical canon with discernment.

Art, craft, and design are also considered some of the most profound forms of human creativity. At HeadstartEden, we offer a high-quality art and design education that not only engages and inspires students but also challenges them. This equips them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, innovate, and create their own works of art. As students advance from Kindergarten to Primary, and later to Secondary, they learn to think critically and develop a comprehensive understanding of art and design. They also discover how art and design reflect and shape history and contribute to the culture, creativity, and economy of society.

Whether through solo performances, ensembles, or school-wide productions, students are encouraged to showcase their musical abilities and develop a deep appreciation for the art form. This rich tradition helps students build confidence, discipline, and a lifelong love of music.
