CURRICULUM

High sport performance refers to an athlete’s ability to achieve the best possible results in his or her chosen sport. This can include physical strength, speed, endurance, agility and mental focus. There are several key factors that contribute to high sport performance, such as training, nutrition, rest and recovery, and mental preparation.

Training is an essential component of high athletic performance. Athletes should participate in regular, structured training programmes that focus on the development of specific physical skills needed for their sport. These programmes may include strength and conditioning exercises, endurance training, speed drills and specific skills practice.

Nutrition is critical. Athletes should eat a balanced diet that provides them with the nutrients necessary to fuel their bodies and support muscle growth and repair.

Mental preparation. Athletes must develop mental toughness and focus to overcome obstacles, maintain confidence and perform at their best under pressure. This may include visualisation techniques, goal setting, positive self-talk and relaxation strategies.

In addition to these factors, high performance in sport also requires a supportive team environment. Athletes must have access to high quality coaches, medical care and support staff to help them achieve their goals. This may include physiotherapists, nutritionists, sports psychologists and other professionals who can help athletes stay healthy and perform at their best.

Overall, achieving high sporting performance requires a holistic approach that focuses on the development of physical and mental skills, as well as the use of technology and a supportive team environment. By focusing on these key factors, athletes can improve their performance and achieve the best possible results in their chosen sport.

High capabilities in STEAM refer to the development of skills and knowledge in the fields of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. These skills are considered essential for success en el futuro workforce and for addressing global challenges such as climate change and healthcare.

Science is the study of the natural world, and developing scientific capabilities involves gaining an understanding of scientific principles, conducting experiments, and analyzing data. This includes developing skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, and scientific inquiry.

Technology refers to the use of tools, machines, and systems to solve problems and achieve specific goals. Developing technological capabilities involves gaining proficiency in the use of digital tools and platforms, as well as understanding how technology can be used to create innovative solutions.

Engineering involves the design and development of systems, structures, and machines. Developing engineering capabilities involves gaining an understanding of engineering principles, as well as developing skills in design thinking, prototyping, and testing.

Art involves creative expression and the use of visual, auditory, and sensory media to communicate ideas and emotions. Developing artistic capabilities involves gaining an understanding of different art forms, as well as developing skills in creative thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration.

Mathematics involves the study of numbers, quantities, and shapes, and developing mathematical capabilities involves gaining proficiency in mathematical concepts and operations. This includes developing skills in problem-solving, logical reasoning, and data analysis.

In addition to formal education, developing high capabilities in STEAM also requires exposure to real-world problems and opportunities to apply knowledge and skills in practical settings. This can include internships, apprenticeships, and project-based learning opportunities.

Finally, developing high capabilities in STEAM requires a supportive learning environment that fosters creativity, innovation, and collaboration. This includes access to state-of-the-art facilities, supportive mentors and peers, and a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

The SLAM Arts Program consists of music and dance education. The program prepares students for further studies in both national and international performing arts but is also meant for any student who would like to learn music or dance for their own enjoyment and enrichment. Students who are interested in pursuing higher education in the arts and train to a professional level in the future, are able to obtain certifications/degrees from renowned art institutions we have partnered with- the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and the Royal Academy of Dance.
