Early Learning
Developing a Passion for Lifelong Learning
Students can enroll with us in our Preschool, using the IB Early Years Programme (EYP) after they turn three (3) years old. Our skilled team of educators believes that young children discover and learn most effectively through socializing, playing, and getting involved with a broad range of inquiry experiences.
We offer small groups where learning is hands-on, support is individual, and children come together from across the world, celebrating the many traditions and cultures that unite us. Using the inquiry-based IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and influenced by a play-based atmosphere, our educators work with students at problem-solving, questioning, and reflecting, all while taking action at building the foundations for lifelong learning.
Our Prekindergarten and Kindergarten students, aged 4 – 5, follow the International Baccalaureate’s Primary Years programme (PYP). The PYP encourages and inspires learners to lead a fulfilling and constructive life as global citizens of a changing world. The basis for its foundations is an active understanding and learning experience, creating space for creative problem-solving within genuine perspectives, and a profound acceptance of the individuality and capabilities of each learner.
Children are inspired to ask, “Why?” and develop links between real life and their pursuits at school. Each child’s abilities are maximized to their highest potential in a nurturing, safe, stimulating, and creative environment. Materials in the classrooms are exclusively tailored to meet their needs and ignite their young minds. Each child is appreciated, valued, and empowered to learn and understand who they are, what they can become, and how to benefit the world in its entirety.
