Section 1: How does Elementary school work?
Elementary students (Grades Kindergarten to Grade 5), learn through inquiry based learning in both specialist and integrated units. As an IB World School we are developing our primary years programme (PYP).
Elementary students also have specialist teachers for: visual art, music, PE and languages (French or Spanish). Students also have a weekly library session with a teacher-librarian to encourage research skills and a love of books.
Section 2: Courses
ISA aims to provide a holistic education. This means students should enjoy a broad range of ways to experience and know about the world. You can find an overview of our curriculum on the ISA Website, Learning by Stages section: Elementary School Curriculum
Section 3: Assessment and Reporting
ISA assesses according to the developmental needs of the student so there are different report card formats for kindergarten, Grades 1 and 2, and Grades 3 to 5.
