Language Policy

The primary classroom language at SIS will be English, however, we understand that there will be a difference in language abilities and experiences. Therefore for students who are beginning their journey as English learners, we will work specifically on their curiosity and motivation for the new language. At SIS we believe this is the essential stage to becoming a life long learner of a new language.

​Kid’s Presentation Day

​Every Friday, we ask parents to come to our presentation hour. This is a time where your child will share his/her work from the week. It will give you an opportunity to observe how your child took ownership and applied his/her creativity in the learning process.
