CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
The Westfield Bridge College (WBC) curriculum is based on Ghana Education Service (G.E.S) which is carefully blended with the British curriculum to meet current global trends. The use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) is fully integrated in daily lesson plans to prepare children to navigate the demands of university and work life.
HOMEWORK
Homework is very important in the academic work of the school. It is another means of evaluating the child’s understanding and assimilation of work done in class.
At the Junior High School Department, subject teachers give homework daily according to a timetable. Parents must ensure that their children do their homework and that they sign it before they hand them in on the due date.
Parents should check with the school if their child persistently says she/he has no homework. If a child is unable to do his/her homework, a letter from a parent should be submitted stating the reason.
