Year 1 EMG Course
English, Mathematics and General Ability — one face-to-face lesson a week, in a small class, with Cyberschool video lessons to review at home.
The Year 1 EMG program gives talented and dedicated students a series of challenging modules covering English, Mathematics and General Ability, developing advanced critical thinking and problem solving through the study of intricate concepts. Students reinforce the foundations of their learning and get ahead of their peers, and are introduced to a new General Ability module that builds reading, conventions of language and numeracy skills.
English
Reading comprehension, spelling, vocabulary and language conventions, taught through engaging activities on age-appropriate texts — the correct spelling of common words, a wider vocabulary and the basic rules of grammar.
Mathematics
A range of topics designed so students grasp fundamental mathematical theories and principles. Interactive activities build arithmetic understanding, explore shapes and patterns, and sharpen problem solving.
General Ability
Puzzles, discussion and exploration that strengthen critical thinking, problem solving and general knowledge — the reasoning the later selective and scholarship tests are built on.
How a term runs
- A weekly face-to-face lesson introducing the new concepts, with materials reviewed and updated to match the latest syllabus
- Homework, plus a Special Online Quiz (S.O.Q) in weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8 — ten questions per subject
- Video lessons on Cyberschool to review each week at the student’s own pace
- Weekly vocabulary tests, and GA practice for scholarship tests covering verbal and non-verbal reasoning
- A Term Progress Test in week 7, reviewed in the first week of the holidays
- My Result — scores and detailed reports, so progress is tracked student by student
