Primary Years Programme
Year 2 – Year 6
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.
Transdisciplinary themes
Knowledge in the PYP is organized into the following six transdisciplinary themes. These transdisciplinary themes have been carefully chosen for their significance to all learners in all cultures. They offer many opportunities for development of skills, knowledge and understanding within and across different subject areas.
Who we are
Where we are in place and time
How we express ourselves
How the world works
How we organize ourselves
Sharing the planet
Activities
EISB strongly encourages participation of all students in its after school club programme. Each student is able to choose from a variety of educational, creative, sporting, arts, service and recreational activities.
Services

Students may also participate in co-curricular activities during the school day as the school believes in offering flexibility to all of its learners and adapting their learning schedule accordingly.

Middle Years Programme (MYP)
Year 7 – Year 11
The MYP is a five-year inquiry- and concept-based curriculum framework within which 4-6 units of investigation are created and explored by teachers and learners each year. It is a programme in which young people can develop as holistic learners in the contexts of subject disciplines, allowing them to nurture a wide knowledge and understanding along with the ability to go deep into the subject material. The ability to deal with information, get the best out of oneself and others, and to be proactive in making wise decisions to bring positive change to the communities and environments they live in, are the prime objectives of our MYP.
Building a solid academic foundation, the MYP develops students’ confidence in managing their own learning and making connections between their learning in the classroom and the real world. After finishing the MYP, students are well-prepared for further education, including national and international courses of study for 16-19 year olds.
Diploma Programme (DP)
Year 12 – Year 13
The DP is the two final years of the Academy. It aims to help our young people maintain a good breadth of education, while allowing them to specialize to the level of university entrance. The IB DP is a prestigious, global pre-university qualification accepted in universities around the world. Learners choose six subject options: two languages, one humanities course, a science, one of four pathways in mathematics, and either an arts course or an extra language, humanities or science option. Along with regular coursework, the DP helps prepare young adults for university life and beyond through the Creativity, Action and Service programme, a research project ending in the Extended Essay and a course called Theory of Knowledge, which explores the idea of what we know and how we know it.
A future-ready programme that builds students’ inquiring mindset, fosters their desire to learn, and prepares them to excel at their careers and lead meaningful lives. It allows for the flexibility to be able to meet different needs of students to maximizes the protentional.
