The Integrated Curriculum
The Integrated Curriculum is the overarching term that refers to everything that we do at the High School of Dundee. It is our vision to join together and integrate fully, in a consistent, coordinated and imaginative way, all areas of learning and teaching throughout the school, from L1 to F6. It therefore comprises not only the established academic curriculum leading towards public examinations, but also the wide-ranging programme of curricular and co-curricular clubs, activities and competitions.
The Integrated Curriculum aspires to develop six main qualities in our young people, namely Articulacy, Analytical Thinking Skills, Creativity and Enterprise, Ethical Values, Leadership and, finally, Teamwork.
The over-riding principles behind this Integrated Curriculum are therefore rigour and excellence, challenge and enjoyment, breadth, progression, depth, personalisation and choice, coherence, relevance, and lifelong learning.
