We are committed to holistic student development that transforms their mind and body, to make a positive difference for themselves and the society. To achieve this, our students work in partnership with the faculty in an integrated learning environment.
Today’s technologies help our students to breakdown the classroom walls and communicate with people they would otherwise never have met. Our global partnership programs provide a seamless learning experience that helps them understand cultural equity and diversity.
Students at SFIS learn to think rather to fill their minds with facts; they conceive it and achieve it. Our art club helps them to use creativity to compose and design something original.
Our children work in teams, exercise leadership and take initiative in co-curricular activities. Children are exposed to practical tasks and not just what is taught in class. Through equal balancing of academic and co-curriculum, the students have the chance to exercise their rights and the opportunity to be multi-talented. By identifying individual talents there is a higher possibility for young children to learn and to grow in their studies.
