Through
a comprehensive and balanced curriculum coupled with challenging
assessments, Preca College aims to assist students in their endeavour
to develop their talents and teach them to relate the experience of
the classroom to the realities of the world outside. Beyond
intellectual rigour and high academic standards, strong emphasis is
placed on the ideals of international understanding and responsible
citizenship, to the end that students may become critical and
compassionate thinkers, lifelong learners and informed participants
in local and world affairs, conscious of the shared humanity that
binds all people together while respecting the variety of cultures
and attitudes that makes for the richness of life.
We
emphasize critical thinking, an awareness of values, the
interconnectedness of knowledge, the role of science and technology
in education for world citizenship, bi and multilingualism.
A major influence in the development of our students is the ethos and practice of the school community, as the values and attitudes of the school community will shape the kind of future of these students and of their environment. It is a priority that the school incorporates a commitment to social justice, and that these aims should be readily apparent in the daily life and conduct of the school.
The
core of the syllabi followed at Preca School is based on the
International Baccalaureate Organization guidelines. These syllabi
are approved by the Ministry of Education of Albania. The textbooks
used are foreign (English) and help to widen the perspective of and
give an international scope to the studies carried out here.
