Basing our learning goals on the SIS IT Curriculum, from the earliest years our students engage with digital tools that foster curiosity, resilience, and analytical thinking. When a child programmes a Bee-Bot, they’re not simply playing – they are learning to sequence instructions, test hypotheses, and iterate when things go wrong. These are the building blocks of computational thinking and problem solving.
Technology is woven purposefully into our bilingual curriculum. A green screen does not just entertain, it transforms storytelling into immersive, cross-cultural experiences. Children explore geography by zooming in on their homes, cities and continents, and they travel through time to bring history to life.
How Does Creativity Meet Digital Tools?
Digital art and 3D design tools encourage spatial reasoning and creativity, while music composition apps help even our youngest learners explore harmony, rhythm, and instrumental timbre. Digital platforms support the development of oral language skills. By embedding critical thinking, online safety, and effective communication from day one, we are not just preparing children for the future – we are empowering them to shape it.
