PRESCHOOL PROFILES
The Renaissance International School
O
ur preschool (known as “Primary”) is for children age 3-to-6-years old. Our Montessori program’s core curriculum includes practical life, sensorial, language, literature, art, music, mathematics and French/English or Spanish/English language immersion. We provide students with a high-quality education designed to create compassionate, capable, confident, creative individuals who are prepared for life. INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY Central to the school’s philosophy is to provide children with an international center of learning and culture that is open, supportive, and multidisciplinary where they develop and achieve their highest potential. Faculty and students represent an international community with more than 30 countries and nearly every ethnic group and major world religion represented. We welcome all families and work closely with parents to foster our view of school as an extension of home. EACH STUDENT IS UNIQUE The basis of our approach is that children learn most effectively though direct experience and the process of investigation and discovery. No two students learn at the same pace, nor do they necessarily learn best from the same methods. We are flexible and creative in addressing each student as a unique individual. Students develop a strong sense of independence, self-confidence, and self-discipline. Our education is of the heart as much as an education of the mind.
LANGUAGE IMMERSION The curriculum is delivered in the languages present in each classroom (French/English or Spanish/ English). At least one of the two classroom teachers speaks to the children in the second language at all times. FOLLOWING COVID-19 PROTOCOLS We take proactive measures to protect our school community by following COVID-19 protocols and guidelines, including maintaining the highest cleanliness standards. We have built small cohorts of students who have ample space indoors and outdoors. We offer in-person classes and an online curriculum with live lessons.
