Preschool

Language acquisition that begins early, is carefully guided by experts and happens in a natural environment leads to life-long competence.

“The sooner, the better.” When it comes to learning a language, this statement is irrefutable. In preschool, children are at an age when their language is particularly susceptible to outside influences. This is why it is important for them to not only practise the second language, but to also actually use it naturally to engage with the world. As a result, preschool will prove to be a varied and exciting time for both children and parents.

Our bilingual Preschool offers a well-supervised, safe and stimulating learning environment. The children are supervised by Portuguese- and English-, German- or French-speaking teachers.

Immersion

Language is acquired through the immersion method, which enables children to fully delve into a language and thus helps them quickly find their way in our international community.

Curriculum

SIS has developed a unique curriculum for children in this age group. It comprises six areas of learning, whose educational content is based on the regulations and standards of the national curriculum, and supplemented by the Primary Years Programme of the International Baccalaureate Organization.

Our preschool curriculum consists of the following six areas:

communication, language, reading and writing
numeracy and mathematical development
personal, social and emotional development
knowledge and understanding of the world
creative development
physical development

Our Preschool is the ideal preparation for the transition into the bilingual SIS Primary School.
