At SamSalo Preparatory School, student life is more than academics; it’s a joyful journey of discovery, creativity, and growth. Every day, our children explore the world around them through hands-on learning, guided by caring teachers and rooted in values that develop the whole child. From language foundations to music and dance, every experience at SamSalo is designed to nurture confidence, curiosity, and character.
In this blog, we take you inside our classrooms to show you how our students learn, play, and thrive.
A Curriculum Designed for the Whole Child
SamSalo uses the Ghana Education Service curriculum, thoughtfully adapted to meet the developmental needs of young learners. Our teachers use the Creative Curriculum — a hands-on, theme-based approach that encourages children to learn by doing. Students are constantly engaged in activities that build critical thinking, observation, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Whether they’re painting, building with blocks, singing, writing, or experimenting with nature, our students are active participants in their own learning.
Language Development: Building Strong Foundations
Language is at the heart of everything we do. We begin early with:
-
Phonemic awareness
-
Phonics and emergent reading
-
Jolly Phonics instruction through Primary 1
-
Exposure to fiction and non-fiction literature
Our classrooms are filled with stories, conversations, and moments where children express themselves through writing, reading, and speech. Grammar is introduced naturally as part of their growth, helping students become confident communicators.
Environmental Studies: Exploring the World Around Us
From Science to Social Studies, our students learn through:
-
Real-life objects
-
Classroom experiments
-
Nature observations
-
Community field trips
Every lesson helps them make sense of the world. Students learn to appreciate nature, understand their communities, and engage with scientific ideas in meaningful ways.
Writing: Expressing Ideas with Confidence
Writing development at SamSalo begins early.
Our students start with:
-
Fine motor skill activities
-
Scribbling and drawing
-
Letter sound recognition
-
Writing small words and sentences
As they grow, they learn:
-
Descriptive writing
-
Responding to prompts
-
Journaling
Each step builds confidence and encourages self-expression.
Music & Dance: Celebrating Culture and Creativity
Beginning at age four, students join our vibrant Music and Dance program.
This is more than just an extracurricular — it is an essential part of our culture.
Children learn rhythm, movement, and self-expression. Those who show exceptional interest or talent receive additional after-school instruction. Music and dance connect students to their heritage while nurturing creativity and joy.
Mathematics: Learning Through Hands-On Problem Solving
Math at SamSalo is active, not abstract.
Students explore:
-
Counting
