In Kindergarten the emphasis is placed on the development of a positive self-concept, appropriate socialization and learning readiness skills. The foundations are laid for a happy and successful school experience. Fundamental skills are taught in an active, stimulating and accepting environment. This approach is focused on developing each student’s Literacy and Numeracy skills in English; as well as addressing their physical, social and emotional development. The instructional program makes a variety of provisions to support individual learning differences and all teachers strive to meet the needs of all students.
Teachers encourage and assist students in becoming active learners, integrating their ideas, feelings and experiences into the instructional program. Students are encouraged to accept responsibility for their conduct, thereby enhancing their by instilling self-esteem and self-confidence. LWIS seeks to nurture and develop students from diverse backgrounds and experiences who will make a difference in their communities. Home-school partnership with parents and the warm and caring atmosphere in which students collaborate constructively, think creatively, reason critically, and communicate effectively is highly valued.
Kindergarten
The LWIS American Curriculum emphasizes on a balanced approach to early childhood education that nurtures a child ensuring their all round development.
Grade 1
Students focus on developing conventional reading and writing skills. Written expression evolves from labeling pictures to including all the sounds in words, ultimately leading to the creation of complete sentences.
Grade 2
The American curriculum program for Grade 2 at LWIS aims to reinforce the concepts introduced in the earlier primary grades. During this year, the focus is on fostering student independence and essential skills.
Grade 3
LWIS marks a transition from learning to read to reading to learn. As students become more independent, lessons are thoughtfully designed to promote their growth within a safe and supportive learning environment.
Grade 4
Students will engage in reading to deepen their understanding and pursue their interests. Their writing becomes increasingly sophisticated, providing opportunities to articulate their developing ideas.
Grade 5
LWIS signifies the conclusion of the elementary phase of education. This period marks a shift from concrete thinking to the development of analytical skills, as students begin to examine multiple layers of ideas concurrently.
We are committed to educating the whole child and giving an opportunity to learn by experience. Students learn to collaborate, think creatively, reason critically, and communicate effectively. Starting as early as K1, students are given opportunities to explore, experiment and discover with hands-on-learning. Throughout the elementary experience, the curriculum provides a framework for student creativity and curiosity.
The Elementary School curriculum is aligned with Common Core State Standards and follows a Standards Based grading scale. The program includes core subjects taught in a homeroom class environment along with Art & Craft, IT, and Physical Education. The core subjects include: English, Science, Social Studies, Math, and Arabic/Hindi/Urdu. Technology is integrated throughout the curriculum and supported by IT staff. The Homeroom teachers also help to create learning opportunities for students using technology as well as how to become responsible digital citizens.
