Curriculum
SSIS curriculum connects with the real world. SSIS strives to provide a progressive program with increasing student responsibility for learning and achievement as students progress from early childhood (EC) through grade 12.
The early childhood and kindergarten programs provide supportive, creative and dynamic environments for learning. Children are encouraged to experiment and learn through hands-on experience and instruction. Classrooms are organized into experiential centers with stations designed to support all learning styles.
Elementary school units are developed around integrated units of study and based on clearly defined standards and benchmarks based upon an American-style education. The independent learning strategies emphasized in the SSIS elementary program prepare students for the increasing demands of grades 6 - 12.
The middle school curriculum (grades 6 – 8) is based upon an exploratory model which provides students the opportunity to experience a wide range of courses. A structured academic program complemented with arts, technology and activities ensures students continue to explore, inquire and reflect upon their learning and learning styles.
The SSIS High School curriculum is designed to prepare students for successful post-secondary learning and living. Learning experiences are designed to bring relevance to what students see, experience and question within their world. In addition to rigorous college preparatory courses, students participate in an extensive community service and activity program which aims to cultivate a sense of responsibility and commitment to their community and their world.
