EARLY YEARS PHILOSOPHY
At Albanian College Tirana (ACT), our Early Years Department warmly welcomes our youngest learners into a holistic, safe, and supportive environment where they can embark on their educational journey. Catering to children aged three (EY1), four (EY2), and five (EY3), our program is designed to nurture growth and development across academic, social, emotional, and physical domains.

As students take their first steps into formal education at ACT, we set clear expectations to support their holistic development through play and curiosity. Explore our website to discover the exceptional learning opportunities our Early Years Department provides.

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
Our Early Years curriculum is concept-driven, delivered through an inquiry- and play-based approach. Students engage with four units of inquiry, each centered on a transdisciplinary theme. These units incorporate learning outcomes from a variety of subjects, including English Language, Albanian Language, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Music, Visual Arts, and Personal, Social, and Physical Education (PSPE).

Rather than relying on worksheets or textbooks, the curriculum emphasizes hands-on, play-based learning. Through this approach, students develop essential transdisciplinary skills such as social, self-management, communication, thinking, and research skills.

Our ultimate goal is to foster independence, encouraging students to communicate effectively, collaborate with others, and take ownership of their learning and actions.
