Academics

In the Early Years 1-2 programme at IST the children will learn the letter sounds and symbols of the alphabet using the Jolly Phonics Phase 1 programme. Speaking and Listening skills are vitally important in forming the foundation of English and these are a key focus of this phonics programme. Children are also introduced to Maths based activities such as number recognition, matching, counting, patterning, colors, and shapes.

Inquiry

In EYP 1-2 the Student will experience the start of a lifelong journey of learning, questioning, and understanding. They will explore tracing, drawing, and painting using many different mediums while developing fine-motor skills through themed units. Children are taught to be inquirers as soon as they reach the classroom, with
fun filled activities of exploration through out four Units of Inquiry spread across the year. In addition they will be practicing their confidence in communication, and expressing themselves through our Social & Emotional development lessons. Our Early Year’s Program will stimulate your child’s social, physical, and cognitive development to give them direction and a great head start on their independent journey of learning. EYP 1-2 is the joyful start of lifelong learning in the PYP.
