Learning with Purpose in a Connected World
At GrowBright International School, technology is not an end in itself, but a powerful tool that supports inquiry, creativity, and meaningful learning. Our approach to digital literacy is guided by IB principles and ensures that technology enhances, rather than replaces, hands-on educational experiences.
From Primary through to High School, students learn to use digital tools thoughtfully, safely, and ethically, developing the skills and judgment required to navigate an increasingly complex digital world.
Our Digital Pact
We believe the internet is a public square, and our character must shine just as brightly online as in the classroom. We promise to foster a culture of Cyber-Wellbeing where technology is used to create, connect, and learn, but never to cause harm.
We commit to:
Digital platforms support collaboration, reflection and shared inquiry across the curriculum. Centralised learning hubs and cloud-based tools enable students to work together, manage assignments and engage in group problem-solving. Interactive digital portfolios capture learning over time, offering students opportunities for reflection and providing families with clear insight into progress and growth.
Responsible digital citizenship is explicitly taught at every stage of the school. Students learn about online safety, data privacy, digital footprints, and ethical use of technology, alongside strategies for evaluating the credibility and relevance of digital information. Equal importance is placed on digital wellbeing, helping students develop healthy, balanced relationships with technology.
Through age-appropriate, scaffolded experiences, students develop computational thinking and problem-solving skills, progressing from foundational logic to more advanced programming and design. Access to tools for digital design, media production and robotics allows learners to connect theoretical understanding with real-world applications.
Digital tools are used to support personalised learning and inclusion. Adaptive platforms, flipped learning approaches, and assistive technologies help ensure that learning is accessible, appropriately challenging, and responsive to individual needs, whilst maximising meaningful interaction in the classroom.
PYP > MYP > DP Digital Literacy Progression
Primary Years Programme (PYP)
Students use technology as a tool for inquiry and creativity. They develop foundational digital skills, learn safe and responsible online behaviours and begin to evaluate information with guidance.
Middle Years Programme (MYP)
Students deepen their digital literacy through research, collaboration and design thinking. They learn to analyse information critically, communicate across platforms and use technology purposefully within and across subjects.
Diploma Programme (DP)
Students use digital tools independently for advanced research, collaboration and creation. Technology supports university-style inquiry, ethical reasoning and self-directed learning in preparation for higher education and future careers.
Enhancing enquiry and collaboration through a seamless digital ecosystem.
We don’t shy away from Artificial Intelligence; we teach students to master it. Through age-appropriate exposure to AI tools and adaptive learning software, students learn to use technology as a co-pilot for creativity and research, while understanding the ethics and biases behind the algorithms.
Every student at GrowBright creates their own Digital Portfolio, an ongoing collection of their academic journey. This platform enables students to document their work, reflect on their growth, and share their achievements with parents in real-time, fostering a sense of ownership and pride in their learning.
In a time of information overload, discerning truth is a formidable skill. We teach advanced information literacy, guiding students in conducting thorough research, assessing source credibility, and upholding academic honesty. We prepare students to be critical consumers, not just passive scrollers.
Coding is the literacy of the future. Our programme integrates computational thinking from the Early Years onwards, progressing from logic games and block-based coding to advanced languages like Python. By combining code with physical robotics, students discover that they have the power to programme the world around them.
