Kindergarten

In Denmark, there is a strong cultural belief that Kindergarten should be a time for learning through play. At ISB we combine the belief in play with the transdisciplinary framework of the IB’s Primary Years Programme.

Who
About 100 children divided into three K1 classes (ages 3-5) and two K2 classes (ages 5-6). There are around 20 children and at least two teachers in each class.
When
The academic programme runs from 8:00-14:00 in Kindergarten. Your child can join the optional Morning Club from 7:00-8:00 and stay for afternoon activities from 14:00-17:00 (16:00 on Fridays).
Where
Kindergarten has its own area of the school buildings - connected to the rest of the school. In Kindergarten you’ll find an indoor swirly slide and tree house, secret underground stashes of LEGO, puppet theaters, dress-ups, a kid-friendly kitchen, reading nooks, and a playground with plenty of space to run, climb, and pedal.
What
The defining element of the IB's Primary Years Programme is the Unit of inquiry: a thematic umbrella bringing together a wide variety of subjects.
How
By placing PLAY at the heart of education, ISB nurtures every child's natural desire to LEARN.

We're an IB World School for both the Primary and the Middle Years programme.
