In the Early Childhood Center (ECC), children find a place where they are subject to their own experiences and are able to develop emotional and conceptual understanding through experimentation, research and the transformation of the space around them.
In this way, inspired by the educational approach of Reggio Emilia schools, teachers listen to the students and propose the development of long-term projects, in which they are protagonists of their learning.
The approach to literacy is based on the Reader's and Writer's Workshop,[2] a customized methodology for international schools in which students in grades 5 through 8 apply learning in a meaningful way.
This integration aims to stimulate ethics, independent and enduring learning, critical thinking, and decision-making skills that prepare students for the next phase, High School.
Students continue to apply Reader's and Writer's Workshop practices in English classes, and use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for the Social Studies curriculum.
For parents and staff, ISC offers the Wildcat Wellness Program with free activities such as yoga, zumba, French and English classes.
