The program consists of six themes, and each theme lasts six weeks. It is designed to be implemented as one class hour per week. Each theme is supported through videos, reading texts, and language skills activities.
In primary and middle school, the program can be taught by the homeroom teacher or a subject teacher. The structure can be adapted based on the school’s teaching staff and how the school chooses to position the program.
First, each school appoints a grade-level coordinator. All teachers receive professional development training to support their understanding of the Vitanova School philosophy, and these trainings are certified.
In primary school, the process begins with pre-theme activities and family-involved tasks. In class, inquiry-based videos are watched, followed by reading texts and activities focused on the four core language skills.
Grade 5 is designed to support students’ transition from primary to middle school. Themes are delivered through videos, reading texts, and interactive activities. Students are gradually prepared for production through foundational writing tasks and portfolio-based work.
Grades 6 and 7 offer learning experiences with more advanced, interactive content. In each theme, writing skills are developed through writing activities aligned with the Ministry of Education’s writing genres. Students also have opportunities to explore and apply interactive content from the books.
