Toddler-Kindergarten 2
Preschool
Start school early to ignite the child's spark! (Early Childhood Education/Preschool)
Preschool students learn the alphabet, numbers, shapes, and colors through games, songs, and dances. Research shows that children who underwent Kindergarten are better than those who did not. Children who complete a standards-based Kindergarten program are better prepared for primary education.
Education for Preschool children lays a foundation for lifelong learning and total development. The early years of a human being, from 0 to 6 years, are the most critical period when the brain grows to at least 60-70 percent of adult size.
Toddlers need fun learning: At 2 years old, children learn through play. SCIS has a unique and specially equipped playroom where your toddler will grow while having having fun.. Many items are imported from the US or United Kingdom for quality learning.
Our classrooms are:
1. Well-decorated classrooms that are very conducive to learning.

1st-6th Grade
Grade School
Videos, activities, songs, poems, stories, and illustrations makes lessons relevant to learners and easy to understand. Students acquire in-depth knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes via continuity and consistency on all levels and subjects. Ensuring Integrated and Seamless Learning (Spiral Progression)
Subjects are taught from the simplest concepts to more complicated concepts through grade levels in spiral progression. As early as elementary, students gain knowledge in areas such as the primary subjects, English, Math, Science, and History. This ensures a mastery of knowledge and skills after each level.
English (and by law, Filipino) are taught as subjects starting in Grade 1. The focus is on oral fluency. The primary language of instruction is English. SCIS students are well known for their fluent English speech.
7th-10th Grade
Junior High School
Grades 1-6 subjects are connected and integrated throughout Grades 7 to 10. For example, physics, biology, and chemistry are coordinated for greater understanding and knowledge. This same method is used in other learning areas like Math. Classroom video, and online academic learning supports progression towards successful senior high studies. Licensed teachers are employed to ensure higher quality learning.
