School Library

A wide variety in both languages

Our library is a place of inspiration and cosiness and promotes a love of literacy in both languages. 

 

We organise a range of activities to engage even the most reluctant of readers These include a reading competition during summer holidays with overwhelming participation, author talks, and regular book fairs where our hallways become a booklover’s paradise. Each primary school class has its own weekly library time to encourage students to read what they love and love what they read. 

Balanced Nutrition 

Freshly Prepared with Love

The wellbeing of our students is our top priority and that includes healthy meals. Lunch together is a moment of community and energy. Our caterer, Organic Garden, prepares fresh meals for all age groups every day. An afternoon snack also provides energy.

Allergies, intolerances, and religious dietary requirements can be accommodated, so that every child can enjoy community mealtimes.

School Clothing

How we value someone should not be based on what they wear, but on who they are. 

For us, it's the person that counts, not their clothes. The focus is on learning together and cohesion in our international school family, not on origin or social differences. Our uniform school clothing strengthens the sense of togetherness and creates an environment in which children can develop freely, regardless of fashion trends and social differences. The modern campus collection can be mixed and matched in many ways, allowing children to express their personality without losing their sense of community. 

Afternoon Programme and Holiday Camps

Age-appropriate and Varied

We offer an Afternoon Programme from 3.45 pm to 6.30 pm. During this time, students can choose from a bento box of activities including STEM explorations, visual and performing arts, and sports. There are also exciting clubs offered by selected external providers for interests such as chess, magic, hip-hop, and basketball. Individual instrumental lessons are offered as well. 

Holiday Fun for Primary Students

With a wide range of activities, our holiday camps give enrolled students the opportunity to discover new skills and gain valuable experiences during the holidays from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm. Our faculty are on hand to lead the way. Camps include exciting excursions to museums, theatres and wildlife parks, as well as hiking in the mountains.
