Our Education

  •  Our curriculum  follows an international curriculum and draws on the principles of the Holistic, collaborative, and integrated approach. We also add our unique touch of utilizing history, local resources, and innovations for the future, to inspire students to see their significance in the world. We focus on the individuality of each child as they are the center of their own learning experience. Children’s agency is respected as they are empowered to take an active role in co-designing the curriculum.
     

  •  Our values  of intelligence, courage, and virtue support our philosophy of love, encouragement and respect, which we do with and for the children, staff, and families. It is important that each child feels secure, appreciated, and confident to ask questions, explore, and take calculated risks. By the way we simply look and listen, we can positively influence a child’s whole personality. In all we do, we continuously check to make sure we do what’s best for every child.
     

  •  At AIIS  children’s authentic lives and experiences are treated as part of the lived curriculum. We believe that the daily routines and rituals, the creative and kid-friendly environment, and the simple caregiving moments are equal opportunities for learning about self and others.
     

  • We strive to make  our environment  a warm, happy and thriving place for all.

Early Years Program

(3Years - 5 Years)

Welcome to our Early Years program, where we ignite the spark of curiosity in your child and lay the foundations for a lifelong love of learning. In our safe and stimulating kindergarten environment, we provide a nurturing space where children grow, explore, and develop. The majority of our instruction is conducted in English but with Japanese and English support.

Our approach is firmly rooted in the latest research, emphasizing inquiry-based learning and a focus on the whole child. We understand that these early years are crucial in shaping a child's perspective and fostering a sense of wonder. Through our framework, we encourage exploration, creativity, and critical thinking, all while developing essential social and emotional skills. All our children are developmentally put into age appropriate classes with progression of their social development and academic learning.​

  •  The Adventurer's (3 year olds) , focus on their social emotional learning through arts and aesthetic design in a play-based environment.

  •  The Discoverer's (4 year olds) , develop their pre-literacy skills and concepts whilst also staying in our play-based environment. We provide a framework and sequence for children to progress at their own pace and developmental level and lays the foundation on which literacy begins. Research identifies that the most prerequisite skills for learning to read are phonological awareness and developing oral language skills. A focus on these two skillsets ensures that the basic building blocks of literacy is a strong foundation for life-long learners.

  •  The Pioneer's (5 year olds) ,continue to work with their social emotional learning while adding practical experience with writing, reading and the scientific method.​

Our educators are dedicated to creating a supportive and engaging atmosphere, allowing your child to flourish academically and socially. With a  STEAM-focused curriculum , your little one will delve into science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, providing a well-rounded and future-ready education.
