 At
SIS we are fully dedicated to providing the best education.
After graduating from SIS K Class or completing our entrance
examination, successful students are ready for the next exciting
challenge at SIS. This is the SIS G1 Class. G1 textbooks and
materials are a combination of Calvert (an American Educational
Institute) and original materials and texts created by SIS. The
program is created to provide a truly
International Education. The G1 program develops students into
freethinking bi-lingual children who are strong problem solvers
and have a full grasp of a wide array of subjects. In addition
to our focus on subjects such as Math, Reading, Writing,
Science, Geography, History and Phonics we are also providing
students with many wonderful additional classes such as Music,
Dance, Ballet, Physical Education, Swimming, Computer, Art,
Listening Comprehension, Manners and Japanese.
Grade one is provided with a fully trained and educated homeroom
teacher.
The homeroom teacher is responsible for the direction of the
class.
In addition to the homeroom teacher many other teachers are
highly involved and dedicated to the highest growth and
education of each individual student as well as the entire G1
class. Students of G1 will have Native English Speaking
Educators.
Also, Japanese and Bi-lingual staff from Japan as well as many
other countries from around the world. Students will have Dance
and Music Instructors. Students will also have several other
teachers that are trained and have developed focus in specific
subjects. At SIS we provide the path to success with the
collaborative group effort of all our management, teachers and
educators.
As a team we strive for a brighter future.
