Meet Our New Programmes
Following the line that marks us out as leaders in educational innovation, we have invested in the myView, myPerspectives, Into Reading and Units of Study programmes, to be introduced across our campuses this school year.
The programmes are built on education through the science of reading and rank among the best in the world, according to international studies analysed by our specialist team for evaluating curriculum content, working with directors and coordinators.
The world of education and learning changes at dizzying speed, and as leaders in innovation Oxford is committed to providing the best academic programmes and meeting the expectations of today’s market — above all in English, where our teaching quality has always stood out. We are fortunate to have a specialist team to evaluate our curriculum content alongside directors and coordinators, who are constantly weighing the best alternatives.
We are certain that investing in educational innovation will always be the right decision, and we are delighted to present the English programmes our experts rated most highly, which we have acquired to join our academic plan from this 2021-2022 school year:
myView
We are among the first schools in the world to implement this programme, which comes from the United States and meets international standards. myView Literacy offers interactive, comprehensive learning with a balanced approach to teaching reading, writing, speaking and listening in English, using a collection of reading texts and collaborative writing workshops. The workshops focus on teaching the critical skills and strategies our students need to become highly capable thinkers, readers and writers, ready for university. The programme also received the highest rating in Ed Reports 2020 across all educational levels.
myPerspectives
myPerspectives encourages learning from the student’s own perspective, both in teams and individually, and provides next-generation learning experiences that promote higher achievement and build the competencies needed for professional readiness. This interactive learning combines a printed book with the use of technology in a classroom inspired by the teacher but centred on the student. The teacher generates concepts for the class, then students collaborate in small groups on specific tasks. From there, students complete an individual exercise and return to share their learning with the rest of the group. For this programme our students have more than 140 e-books available to them in Oxford’s digital library.
Into Reading
Into Reading is the most current programme in the United States in English Language Arts, designed to inspire lifelong readers and writers. It is distinctive because it offers a balanced approach to literature that supports teachers in developing a culture of learning and growth, and helps students believe in the power of “I can”. Participants have access to high-quality texts and award-winning books that encourage and create genuine enthusiasts for reading. They also develop critical thinking skills to transfer knowledge into real life and internalise their learning. Into Reading ensures students receive the initial support and practice that sets them on the best path towards independence. An exclusive partnership with Mindset Works guarantees the programme’s best support for nurturing a Growth Mindset® every day.
Units of Study
This internationally recognised programme will be introduced in secondary at Las Quintas Campus. It focuses on understanding reading and writing skills. We want students at this level to be flexible and resilient, to show autonomy and independence, and to read and write both for pleasure and for academic purposes — and this programme ensures that happens. With Units of Study, students will strengthen their writing through conferences, small-group analysis and interactive reading comprehension workshops, among others.
We research new trends in education continually, and it motivates us to offer a high standard in the teaching of English — the dominant language in science, education, finance and business, and essential for widening the possibilities of growth and better opportunities professionally and personally.
The programmes are built on education through the science of reading and rank among the best in the world.
We know that with them the learning will stay with our students for life, whether the format is online or in person, and that the odds of a promising future for them are very high.
