ELEMENTARY/IPC: THE JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY

At the International School of Bremen (ISB), our Elementary program for Grades 1 to 5 embarks students on a journey of discovery, powered by the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). This innovative, project-based curriculum is designed to captivate young minds and foster a love for learning, ensuring every day is an adventure filled with curiosity and exploration.
 

ENGAGING AND DYNAMIC LEARNING

The IPC provides a dynamic and engaging framework that integrates a wide range of subjects, including science, art, and the humanities. Each thematic unit encourages students to dive deep into captivating topics, making meaningful connections across various disciplines. This holistic approach not only enhances academic knowledge but also stimulates creative thinking and problem-solving skills.
 

PERSONAL LEARNING GOALS

Our Elementary program places a strong emphasis on personal learning goals, nurturing essential qualities such as collaboration, resilience, empathy, and critical thinking. Through the IPC, students develop these skills in a supportive environment, preparing them to navigate both academic challenges and social interactions. The focus on personal growth ensures that each child develops into a well-rounded individual.
 

INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING

At ISB, we believe in the power of inquiry-based learning. Our dedicated educators design lessons that encourage students to ask questions, investigate, and reflect on their findings. This approach fosters a deep understanding of the subject matter and cultivates a lifelong passion for learning. By empowering students to take ownership of their education, we help them build confidence and independence.

PSHE & PHILOSOPHY FOR CHILDREN

We believe in nurturing the whole child, which is why our students participate in Personal, Social, Health, and Economic (PSHE) lessons. These sessions help students develop essential life skills and emotional intelligence. Additionally, we use the Philosophy for Children (P4C) approach to foster critical thinking, dialogue, and reflective skills. This method encourages children to think deeply and discuss important issues, building a strong foundation for thoughtful and informed decision-making.
 

UN RIGHTS OF THE CHILD & SUSTAINABILITY GOALS

Our curriculum is firmly rooted in the principles of the United Nations Rights of the Child and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. By integrating these global standards, we teach students the importance of rights, responsibilities, and sustainable practices. This global perspective empowers our students to become responsible, ethical, and active citizens who are committed to making a positive impact on the world.
 

CONNECTING WITH THE WORLD

ISB’s IPC program extends beyond the classroom, connecting students with the world around them. Through local excursions and community projects, students gain real-world experiences that enhance their understanding and appreciation of global and cultural perspectives. These experiences instil a sense of global citizenship and responsibility, preparing them to make a positive impact in an interconnected world.
 

DEDICATED EDUCATORS

Our team of passionate and dedicated educators is at the heart of our Elementary program. Committed to fostering a nurturing and stimulating learning environment, they use the IPC framework to create engaging and impactful lessons. Their expertise and enthusiasm inspire students to reach their full potential, ensuring each child's educational journey is both enriching and enjoyable.
