KIS Early Years - Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten Programmes

Play-Based

Learning

We believe a play-based approach is essential for young children’s cognitive, social, emotional, physical and brain development. Through play, children construct meaning and define themselves as members of a learning community. Through play-based learning, young learners develop by collaborating, making judgments, learning how to learn and becoming increasingly autonomous with the support of involved educators who understand the educational potential of play. They also begin to develop the academic skills necessary to succeed.

Skills

We apply a constructivist approach where students are actively engaged in guided inquiry and are given opportunities to take responsibility for their own learning. It is an active process in which our students are encouraged to construct new understandings from their learning experiences.

We strive to help our students to become lifelong learners, via providing learning experiences which are planned to develop approaches to learning: thinking skills, self-management skills, social skills, research skills and communication skills.

The IB Primary Years Programme

What is the IB Primary Years Programme?

Here is a video made by the IBO to give a picture of the depth and breadth of the PYP Programme.

Primary Years Programme

Our Primary School implements the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programmeme (IBPYP) as our curriculum framework which fulfils the needs of students regardless of where they have lived in the world. Through the IBPYP curriculum framework we consistently aim to have learning for all of students to be significant, relevant, meaningful and challenging.

KIS

EARLY YEARS Programme

Our Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten Programme is available for students from 4 to 6 years of age. We use the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IBPYP) to frame our Programme, aiming to encourage children to develop a love of learning. We believe that children are active, competent, curious, intelligent, expressive and compassionate. These fundamental beliefs inform all of our interactions and engagements with children. The ultimate goal is to allow a space for the child to construct his or her own powers of thinking through all of their expressive, communicative and cognitive languages.
