Available Places in Grade 1 August 2024
We have a few available places in Grade 1 and other lower primary classes, and welcome you to contact us should you be interested in choosing KIS for your child!
Our main focus is always student well-being and we do this through seeing each individual student. We want to build close relationships with all students and help them develop into caring members of the global society. We work towards having a cross-school community where the older students see and care for the younger ones to ensure a safe and supportive environment for everyone.
Why choose KIS for your child?
Our classes have a maximum of 20 students per class and only one class per grade! This ensures time to follow up each individual student and facilitates for a close knit community. Students in Grade 1 have buddies in Grade 6 who help the youngest students feel safe and welcome at school. Through activities across school such as house days, celebrations and school show, we build our community feeling and relationships throughout the school year.
We see great value in living balanced lives and have therefore no homework in Grade 1-6! This ensures time for afternoon activities and rest outside of school hours.
Although electronic devices such as tablets and laptops provide a myriad of learning opportunities, we limit our use of screens. In Grade 1 we emphasize the importance of learning to write using pen and paper to train fine motor skills and ensure students learn proper writing skills. In fact, Grade 1 students do not use any screen devices until the second semester! And even then only as a source for information in the same way we use books and other resources.
Through student agency we encourage students to take responsibility for their school day. They are actively involved in planning and shaping their school days and learning experiences. Already from Grade 1 we guide students in how to gather information and make independent choices, and this is continuously built upon through the following years.
By fostering curiosity we aim for our students to be open for all that life has to offer! When students develop a general curiosity in life, we see an instant connection between what is taught in the classroom and life beyond school. They use their acquired skills actively in all aspects of life becoming life-long learners.
