Summerhill International School is an accredited IB school offering the prestigious IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), for children from 3 years old and up. We also provide classes in a nurturing, engaging setting for younger children, ages 15 months to 2 years.
All classes run their core program from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM, with extended care and after-school classes available until 5:00 PM for families who need flexibility.

Our program provides a supportive, welcoming environment where children can grow at their own pace. We focus on fostering a love of learning, encouraging social development, and ensuring each child has the opportunity to thrive.

The guiding educational principle at the school for the K1 and K2 classes (ages 15 months to three years) is learning through play. Children have the freedom to participate in activities that they initiate or that are directed by teachers. This approach creates a secure but challenging environment, where children can:

• Explore, develop, and represent learning experiences that help them to make sense of the world
• Practice and build up ideas, concepts, and skills
• Take risks and make mistakes
• Think creatively and imaginatively
• Communicate with others as they investigate or solve problems
• Develop self-regulation and build social skills

Throughout the day and during the various play activities at the school, teachers take on a crucial role of guiding children’s learning. With a curriculum that caters for an individualized approach to learning, prime areas such as numeracy, literacy and social skills develop more authentically.

Summerhill also puts a high priority on encouraging students to be effective communicators. Children at Summerhill are continually working on their listening and observing skills, and gradually develop the capacity to express their thoughts, opinions, and ideas with confidence.

This approach develops children who are knowledgeable, open-minded, thoughtful, curious, and caring. They also find success after they graduate, and students from the school move on to prestigious international schools.
