In our Kindergarten and Elementary program we aim to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through international understanding and respect.
The EBI curriculum:
- Emphasizes the acquisition of conceptual understanding
- Constructs knowledge through guided inquiry
- Promotes inquiry-based learning
- Supports varied learning styles
- Makes a strong emphasis on creativity
- Integrates music and art
- Reinforces diversity and cultural understanding that is both experienced and taught in the classroom
Kindergarten and First and Second Grade students have one hour of English instruction each day and the rest of their instruction is in Spanish. Students who enter with no Spanish language are supported as needed during their transition to Spanish. We have found that there is a very fast learning period for students at this age.
