The Elementary School proudly delivers the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP). Centered on inquiry and experiential education, our curriculum empowers students to actively engage in their learning journey. Students ask critical questions, explore, and take ownership of their learning. Classroom spaces and learning experiences are carefully structured by our teachers, teaching assistants, and administrators, facilitating a transdisciplinary approach to learning that allows students to apply knowledge and skills from a variety of academic areas.
Each classroom is staffed by a dedicated homeroom teacher and a teaching assistant, with targeted support available for both English language acquisition and specialized learning needs. To ensure a comprehensive education, specialized educators lead instruction in music, visual arts, physical education, and home language development.
The elementary curriculum prioritizes the holistic development of every child by embedding social-emotional learning that cultivates essential IB Approaches to Learning (ATL)—including critical thinking, communication, research, self-management, and social skills. Homeroom teachers guide students to develop these skills through targeted lessons. These foundational skills ensure students are thoroughly prepared academically, socially, and instructionally for long-term success.
Through small class sizes and a tailored educational approach, ISL provides a supportive, balanced environment where every student can achieve their full potential.
