Pre-Primary

Our FIS Pre-Primary curriculum is designed to incorporate play-based learning, hands-on activities, and age-appropriate experiences that encourage exploration and discovery. The primary focus is on fostering a joy of learning and allowing children to grow stress-free at their own pace. The key points in our Pre-Primary education are:

The child as an Active Learner

At FIS, children are active participants in their learning journey. Through hands-on activities, language exploration, and play, they build on their interests and experiences. Activities are tailored to each child, fostering trust in their abilities and promoting a sense of belonging.

Play is the cornerstone of children's development at FIS. It cultivates collaboration, emotional expression, and skill acquisition while promoting well-being and group cohesion. Pedagogical play creates a shared world of wonder for both children and teachers.

FIS emphasises holistic growth, embracing diversity and equity. Pre-Primary education supports stress-free learning, nurturing transversal competences essential for today's diverse world.
