The Vitanova School Mıddle School Program
Dear Vitanova School Teachers,
Welcome to the new era of learning!
Thank you for guiding our students on their learning journeys through the Vitanova School Program. In this video, we share all the implementation steps of the program and present a clear roadmap of the journey we will take together.
Our Program for Middle Schools
Our program consists of six core themes, each including three sub-themes. It is a developmental program, not a spiral one.
Each theme lasts six weeks and is implemented as one class hour per week.
The program is supported by a detailed 36-week plan.
Before each theme begins, parent letters explaining the six-week learning process are shared.
The Middle School Vitanova School Program is implemented through a four-step structured system.
Step 1: First Lesson – Video 1
The teacher introduces the theme verbally.
The lesson begins with the introductory questions and key information provided in the teacher guides.
Video 1 under the first heading is watched via the classroom portal.
The video is paused at key questions to gather students’ ideas before continuing.
Step 2: Lesson 2 – Reading Text / Reading Sections
At the beginning of the second lesson, the teacher works through the following with students:
For Grade 5, the reading text and reading comprehension sections in the book.
For Grades 6 and 7, the reading sections are completed together with the students.
Step 3: Lesson 2 – Reading Text
At the start of the second lesson, the teacher works through the reading text and reading comprehension sections in the book.
In the first week, the “Four Core Language Skills” activity is continued.
Step 4: Theme – Section 2
The three-week segment of the first section of the theme is completed.
The same structure is applied for the second sub-theme:
Week 4: Watching Video 2
Week 5: Reading Text 2
Week 6: Text-based activities and written work
Step 3: Theme – Sections 2 and 3
The two-week segment of the first section of the theme is completed.
The same structure is applied for Sections 2 and 3:
Week 3: Watching Video 2 for Section 2
Week 4: Working on the book section for Section 2
Week 5: Watching Video 3 for Section 3
Week 6: Working on the book section for Section 3
Step 4: Multidisciplinary Project Completion
At the end of the theme, students select one project from the available project options and prepare their work.
Throughout the project process, students upload all planning documents into the designated forms.
Completed projects and forms are uploaded to the students’ Digital Portfolio.
When appropriate, the teacher facilitates in-class presentations.
