Learning Beyond the Classroom: NAIS Manila Students Explore Biodome and Sciscape
Real-world learning took centre stage during Challenge Week at Nord Anglia International School Manila, as Primary students explored science and biodiversity through educational visits to the Philippine Biodome and Sciscape. These experiences extended learning beyond the classroom, allowing students to engage directly with environmental and scientific concepts through observation, interaction, and discovery.

Exploring Biodiversity at the Philippine Biodome
At the Philippine Biodome, our students encountered diverse ecosystems and species, deepening their understanding of habitats, conservation, and environmental interdependence. Seeing living environments firsthand helped students connect classroom learning with real-world ecological systems. The visit sparked curiosity about the natural world while strengthening awareness of sustainability and biodiversity.

Science in Action at Sciscape
At Sciscape, our students explored hands-on exhibits and interactive installations that brought scientific principles to life. Through experimentation, problem-solving, and playful discovery, students experienced science as active, engaging, and meaningful. These experiences supported inquiry, collaboration, and critical thinking, allowing students to explore concepts in memorable ways.

Connecting Experiential Learning with the International Primary Curriculum
Experiences such as the Biodome and Sciscape visits reflect the principles of the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), where learning is designed to be connected, inquiry based, and rooted in real world contexts. Through thematic exploration and meaningful experiences, students deepen understanding by seeing how concepts apply beyond the classroom. By engaging directly with environments, systems, and scientific ideas, students strengthen curiosity, questioning, and conceptual thinking, key elements of IPC learning. These experiences support children in making connections across subjects while developing confidence as independent learners.
