Middle School Curriculum at WIS

Middle School

As our students move into the Middle School at GEMS Wellington International School, they start to access subject specialists in every area of their learning. This transitional period is an incredibly important part in our students’ learning journey, which is why we offer a holistic curriculum that promotes a love of learning.

Meet The Head Of Middle School 

I have a genuine care for all students at WIS and their journey they take with us as a school. I strongly believe that all students should maximise their school experience though taking advantage of all the amazing opportunities and EEE’s our school has to offer. A student's education is not simply a reflection of their results but a reflection of the friends they make, skills they learn and experiences they take from their educational journey

As our students move into the Middle School at GEMS Wellington International School, they start to access subject specialists in every area of their learning. This transitional period is an incredibly important part in our students’ learning journey, which is why we offer a holistic curriculum that promotes a love of learning. We ensure that we actively engage our students in independent study, cross-curricular development and effective collaboration with one another, to help them reach their true potential in an enjoyable and inspirational way. We believe that the students in our Middle School need this specialist teaching in order to feel appropriately challenged and we have found that this motivates them to achieve great things. 

Our Pastoral Programme affiliates every student with one of our 4 Houses, which provides them with a sense of identity, promoting the family-feel nature that resonates throughout the whole of WIS. This programme ensures that we have the well-being of our students at the forefront of everything that we do, as they receive daily pastoral support from their form tutors, as well as regular support from their Head of House and Deputy Head of House. 

Both the Specialist Teaching Model and the Pastoral Programme prepares the students in the Middle School well for their transition into the Upper School.
