Developing Independent Learners
Individual aproach
EISB Primary looks at student development over the long term. Each child develops differently and in their own time. We take an individualised approach developing all students to be Independent learners.
Skill Development
All learning at EISB focuses on Skill-Development. More than memorising information for tests, EISB students apply learning to a real world context and demonstrate that learning in tangible ways.
Because of this, EISB learning is

Learning through experience
EISB Primary is an innovative, transdisciplinary programme with the goal of developing independent learners who are internationally minded and who have the values of the PYP learner profile. Our transdisciplinary programme follows the framework of the Primary Year Programme (PYP) from the International Baccalaureate (IB).
We take core subjects necessary for student development and, rather than teach them separately and memorize facts, combine them into tangible transdisciplinary projects which provide opportunities to develop holistic skills that impact the world around them.
