Elementary School
The Bingham Academy Elementary school consists of KG1, KG2 and Grades 1–5.
KG1 uses the British-based Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum.
From KG2 – Grade 5 the Cambridge International Primary Curriculum is used for core subjects of English, Mathematics, and Science and supplemented in the other key areas.
All students in the Elementary school will have the following subjects per week: PSSHE, English, Mathematics, Science/Social Studies, Physical Education, Library, Music, IT and Art. Grades 1 – 5 will also receive Amharic lessons – Ethiopia’s national language.
Progression tests are scheduled for Grades 2 - 5. However, Grade 5 students will also complete Checkpoint exams. These exams are provided by Cambridge International and are given during class time in term 4.
KG1 and KG2 have their own playground and outdoor space. There is also a wonderful elementary playground for Grade 1's and 2's and a mini rope course for Grade 3's and 4's.
As part of our PSSHE (Personal, Social, Spiritual, Health, and Emotional Education) program, our elementary students join together each week for an assembly. These gatherings include worship through singing, engaging lessons, and interactive activities designed to nurture their faith, build character, and equip them with the knowledge and skills to navigate life with wisdom and integrity.
