Kids

Children aged 1 to 5 begin their learning journey with joy and curiosity.

Guided by the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework, they explore big ideas through playful experiences that weave together literacy, numeracy, the arts, and emotional growth - helping them grow into confident, capable learners.

Our curriculum

Our program sparks curiosity and a love for learning through an inquiry-based approach built around broad, engaging themes. Children learn through playful, hands-on experiences that weave together early literacy, numeracy, the arts, and personal and social growth - helping them build strong foundations for lifelong learning.

Language comes alive

Young students step into reading with energy and purpose. They play with sounds, connect letters, and blend words through engaging experiences.

Tactile letter tracing and lively read-aloud help them build fluency and comprehension. Every day, learners dive into stories, ask questions, and share ideas - whether through dramatic play, group discussions, or inquiry projects.

Reading isn’t just a lesson, it’s a part of life. Our students grow as confident communicators and thoughtful readers, ready to own their learning and express themselves clearly.

Discovering the world: exploring inside and out

Young learners lead their own discoveries. They explore science by sprouting seeds, testing what floats, and tracking clouds. These adventures spark questions and teach them to observe changes, make predictions, and share findings.

In social sciences, children embrace new roles, collaborate on projects, and discuss family and culture. They learn to ask questions, solve problems, and practice empathy daily. Through stories, play, and inquiry, students build deep connections to nature, community, and themselves.

Visual Art

Art in action - immersive experiences for young creators

Children begin their journey in visual arts with curiosity and creativity. They explore a variety of materials, experiment with colors and textures, and express their ideas through painting, sculpting, collage, and mixed-media projects.

These experiences help develop fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and confidence in their creative voice. Art becomes a way to tell stories, share perspectives, and connect with the world.

Through the ISP Artists program, students discover artistic movements and techniques, applying them in personal projects that reflect their thoughts and emotions.

Music

Making meaning through music

Children explore instruments, create rhythms, and discover how sound and tempo express emotions and tell stories. Through singing, movement, and making music together, they build creativity, coordination, and a sense of belonging.

Music connects to daily learning, helping children explore cultures, recognize patterns, and understand scientific ideas such as vibrations and sound waves.

Guided by curiosity and joyful exploration, our learners grow in confidence and develop a lasting appreciation for music’s power to inspire and connect.

Movement

Moving with purpose: building strength and confidence

Young learners build strength, coordination, and confidence as they run, jump, climb, and dance, developing balance and spatial awareness through joyful activities.

Obstacle courses, yoga, and outdoor adventures challenge both body and mind, fostering problem-solving and perseverance. Movement goes beyond physical growth, it supports focus, self-regulation, and teamwork.

Whether navigating a climbing structure or collaborating in group games, students develop healthy habits and a strong foundation for lifelong learning and well-being.
