CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
At IFIS, our curriculum is designed to offer a holistic education that combines academic rigor with personal growth. Trhough a balanced blend of classroom and outdoor learning, we craft a dynamic and engaging learning journey through the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). Our approach is designed to nurture young minds, transforming them into confident, capable, and globally-minded individuals. We go beyond traditional education, preparing your child not just for exams, but for a successful and fulfilling life in the real world.
A Bilingual Foundation
In the diverse educational landscape of Singapore, a bilingual education is a significant advantage. At IFIS, we offer a robust bilingual program that integrates English and Chinese throughout our curriculum. This approach ensures that students become proficient and confident in both languages, a crucial skill for communication and connection in our globalized world.
​
Our bilingual education is not about rote memorization. It is about immersing students in a rich linguistic environment where they can apply their language skills in meaningful contexts. This deepens their cognitive flexibility, enhances their problem-solving abilities, and fosters a greater appreciation for different cultures.
THE IFIS ADVANTAGE:
DISCOVER THE POWER OF
THEMATIC LEARNING
Discover the wonders of International Primary Curriculum (IPC)
What makes the IPC at IFIS so unique is our commitment to thematic learning. We believe that learning is most effective when it is connected and relevant. Instead of teaching subjects in isolation, we link English, Chinese, Math, and Science through a common, engaging theme.
​
For example, a theme like "Our Planet, Our Home" could see students:
-
In English: Reading and writing stories and reports about environmental conservation.
-
In Chinese: Learning vocabulary related to nature and discussing recycling.
-
In Math: Analyzing data on plastic waste or calculating the area of a rainforest.
-
In Science: Conducting experiments to understand ecosystems and the impact of pollution.
"By drawing clear connections between subjects and real-life issues, we foster a deeper understanding and a genuine love for learning. This method encourages inquiry and critical thinking, empowering students to ask questions, explore ideas, and find solutions."
THE IPC FRAMEWORK:
DEVELOPING CONFIDENT, WORLD READY THINKERS
The ultimate goal of the IFIS experience is to cultivate students who are not just academically prepared, but are also confident thinkers connected to the real world. The IPC framework, with its emphasis on personal goals such as resilience, communication, and respect, helps shape well-rounded individuals.
Our students learn to:
-
Collaborate with their peers on challenging projects.
-
Communicate their ideas clearly and persuasively.
-
Think critically about the world around them.
-
Adapt to new situations with confidence.
-
​
By the time our students leave IFIS, they are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and character to thrive in their future academic pursuits and as active, engaged citizens of the world. We are not just building great students; we are nurturing the leaders and innovators of tomorrow.
