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.
