Academics

Every student is unique, with unique learning needs, styles and strengths. In fact, educators agree that there are seven different ways that people absorb information:

Different Types of Learning

Verbal

Those who learn best through speech and writing

Visual

Those who prefer learning using pictures and images

Aural

Those who enjoy using sound music to learn

Physical

Those who benefit from a hands-on approach

Logical

Those who learn best through reasoning

Solitary

Those who prefer self-paced studying

Social

Those who like to learn in groups with others

Of these common learning styles, only verbal learners really benefit from the traditional classroom style of education, and as a result, the vast majority of students are neglected.

To ensure that each student who comes through our school receives the education that best prepares them for the future, we have built the IIS educational syllabus upon the foundations of the British curriculum.

Our Programmes

The British curriculum is one of the select few which recognises that each child is different, and the curriculum is therefore designed to be flexible. It provides leeway for educators to develop bespoke programmes to accommodate each student, while also challenging them to achieve more. The British curriculum has helped children of schooling age establish a solid foundation in knowledge, understanding, skills and values.

For students enrolled in the Early Years Programmes (3-4 years old), our curriculum covers fundamental subjects such as: English, Maths, Social Skills, Creative Arts, Personal Development Health and Physical Education (PDHPE). For students enrolled in our Primary and Lower Secondary Programmes (Grades 1-9), our curriculum covers subjects including: English, Maths, Science, Topic of Inquiry (History and Geography), Creative Arts, Personal Development Health and Physical Education (PDHPE). As part of the curriculum, the Integrated International School Examination (IIS Examination) will be conducted in Grades 3, 5, and 8 and an external Pearson Examination in Grade 6 and 9.

Students who successfully completed either Grades 6 or 9 will receive a Pearson Edexcel Certificate.
