Primary Years Programme (PYP)

Students in the Elementary School are in school from 8.25 am to 3.10 pm on Monday and Friday. However, they have the opportunity to join extra-curricula activities from 3.15 pm to 4.00 pm on Tuesdays to Thursdays.

Our daily schedule is as follows:

Our students learn in small groups, individually with teachers, independently at learning centres and in whole class activities. Their time is divided between the homeroom base, the shared commons areas, the specialised facilities for PE and music, and the outside play areas.

ISV follows the International Baccalaureate Organisation’s Primary Years Programme (IB-PYP) curriculum in the Elementary School. Our programme includes language and literacy, mathematics, art, music, physical education, science and social studies.
