Curriculum & blended learning

Taught in the Classroom. Tracked on the Platform.

Every Genesis course has a face-to-face teacher and a digital home — so learning is rigorous in class and visible at home the same day.

Blended learning showcase

Three platforms, chosen for what they reveal

Genesis committed to blended learning in 2016 and trained the faculty for a full year before rolling it out. The platforms are not a substitute for teaching; they are the record of it.

HMH - K5-Grade 6

Adaptive reading and mathematics practice that adjusts to the child's demonstrated level rather than their year group, used in timetabled lab sessions and set as short home practice. Growth reports are issued three times a year and drive our elementary intervention plan: who needs small-group support, and who needs extending.

Schoology - Grades 4–12

The course hub. Every secondary section has a live Schoology page mirroring the timetable: assignments with due dates, submission history, rubrics, graded feedback and teacher announcements. Parents hold their own login. If a paper was set on Monday and not submitted by Thursday, you can see that on Thursday — not at the end of term.

Schoology - Grades 7–12

Self-paced coursework used three ways: acceleration for students ready to move ahead, elective breadth where a timetable cannot fit a subject, and credit recovery where a course needs repeating. Units are mastery-gated at 80% and marked against exactly the same standards as classroom work, with a supervising subject teacher assigned to each student.

Division details

The curriculum, division by division

Subject outlines across the pathway, from observation-based early years assessment to BGCSE candidacy.

Ages 2–5

Early Learning Division

Little Beginnings, Pre-K and Kindergarten (K5). Play-based and phonics-led, assessed by structured observation rather than testing. The division's job is to make a child confident, verbal and curious before formal schooling begins — and to catch early any difficulty with speech, hearing or fine motor control. Daily communication home · lowest staff ratios in the school · transition programme into Grade 1

Literacy

Phonemic awareness, letter formation, shared reading, oral storytelling, print awareness.

Whole Child

Music, movement, visual art, Bahamian culture, values education, social routines and self-care.

Numeracy & discovery

Counting, sorting, pattern, shape, measurement, sand and water investigation, simple recording.

Assessment

Termly observation portfolios, developmental checklists, parent conferences twice yearly.

Grades 1–6

Elementary Division

Class teaching through Grade 3 and specialist subject teaching from Grade 4, so that pupils arrive in the high school already used to moving between subject teachers. GLAT preparation is embedded in Grades 3 and 6 rather than bolted on as a cram term. HMH growth checks three times yearly · timetabled spelling bee and science fair preparation

Language arts, mathematics, general science, social studies, health and family life.

National assessment

GLAT preparation in Grades 3 and 6 across mathematics, language arts, science and social studies

Enrichment

Spanish, computer studies, visual art, music, physical education, religious knowledge.

Reporting

Termly written reports, mid-term progress notes, and open parent conferences each term

Grades 7–12

High School & College Prep Division

A junior programme leading to BJC candidacy in Grade 9, then a two-year BGCSE programme across Grades 11 and 12. University counselling begins in Grade 10 with transcript planning, and every senior leaves with a completed application portfolio.

95% tertiary matriculation · SAT practice programme · scholarship search support

BJC track · Grades 7–9

English language, mathematics, general science, social studies, health science, religious knowledge, technical drawing.

College preparation

SAT practice cycles, application and essay clinics, scholarship search, transcript and reference management.

BGCSE track · Grades 10–12

English language and literature, mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, history, geography, economics, book-keeping and accounts, art & design.

Blended delivery

Every course mirrored in Schoology; Ignitia used for acceleration, electives and credit recovery.

Co-curricular highlight

Competition is part of the timetable

Our achievement record is not accidental. Preparation for each of these runs in scheduled sessions with a named coach.

Science Fair

Grades 4 through 12 design an investigation, write it up and defend it before external judges each spring. Laboratory access is timetabled for senior entrants.

Art Fair

Studio work is exhibited campus-wide at the end of the second term, with selected entries submitted to national youth art competitions.

Spelling Bee training

Weekly coached sessions from Grade 2 upward — the direct source of our repeated district championships and national placements.
