Thousands of students use the Cambridge International AS & A Levels every year to gain places at leading universities worldwide, including in the UK, USA, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

All UK universities and nearly 850 US universities accept Cambridge International A Level qualifications, including Harvard, MIT, Stanford and Yale. In places such as the US and Canada, strong grades in carefully chosen Cambridge International A Level subjects can result in up to one year of university course credit!

Early Intervention Programme

Early Childhood Education at IIS Singapore

Early intervention (EI) refers to a comprehensive, holistic approach to addressing developmental delays or unique learning/behavioural challenges in young children. It typically involves early identification, assessment, and personalised interventions to promote optimal development in cognitive, language, social, sensory processing and motor skills.

Our EI program caters to 18 month to 6-year-olds. The goal of our early childhood education is to provide specialised support and resources as early as possible to minimize the impact of developmental delays on a child’s overall development and well-being. Research has evidenced time and time again that the earlier children receive intervention and support services, the better their long-term outcomes will be.

EI may be administered in a 1:1 setting and/or group sessions. For us, this also involves a multidisciplinary team of professionals, including naturalistic behaviour interventionists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, special educators, and other specialists where relevant. The specific interventions may vary depending on the individual needs and strengths of the child, but they often involve structured as well as unstructured activities, therapies, and techniques that aim to promote learning, language and communication skills, play skills, social-emotional skills, sensory integration, general development, and independence. Quality early intensive intervention also builds foundations in pre-functional academic skills depending on age and ability levels.

Our EI program focuses on building skills in the following domains:

  1. Emphasis on verbal and nonverbal communication
  2. Receptive communication and expressive communication
  3. Social and play skills
  4. Interpersonal engagement
  5. Fine motor skills
  6. Gross motor skills
  7. Joint Attention
  8. Self-regulation
