Learning
at SSIS
Our school has come a long way over the past 25 years, with a strong focus on personal rigor, principled behavior and open-mindedness. With these attributes we have cultivated an environment of excellence in academics.
THE IB PHILOSOPHY
At SSIS we are proud to be an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School offering the IB curriculum from Nursery to Grade 12.
The IB is a highly respected programme of international education that develops the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills needed to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world.
At SSIS students learn how to learn. Students are able to take responsibility for their own learning and are encouraged to try different approaches to learning.
We help students to:
- ask challenging questions
- think critically
- develop research skills proven to help them in higher education.
We encourage students to be active in their communities and to take their learning beyond academic study.
