Dear Parents,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our school website.
Education is a life-long learning process. Learning happens all the time; not only in a pre-designated place called the school. The school’s mission, therefore, is to provide a learning environment and opportunities to the children as learners.
Shaping young, impressionable minds is one of life’s biggest challenges. At Eastlands International School, we aim to empower our students to grow as individuals with strong open discerning minds with an international perspective, preparing them to make a mark in the global village – the world has come to be today.
Our distinctive academic curriculum and innovative teaching methodologies encourage students to develop critical-thinking and learn through enquiry and reason, to exchange thoughts and ideas, to develop key personal and social values, to take ownership for his/ her choices and to set goals to realise their own unique potential.
Teacher-student relationships take time to develop and deepen and need a climate of love and trust. There must also be continuity between teachers and students both within the classroom and in the wider school environment.
We strive to provide an environment that is basically sacred and has a framework of discipline that is flexible yet supportive, a freedom that allows students to learn even from their mistakes, to develop into person moulded by the correlatives of freedom and responsibility.
The developmentally appropriate curriculum for young children provides all the areas of a child’s development; physical, social, emotional and cognitive. Parental involvement in a child’s education process is both a gift to your child and a gift to the school. This partnership is strongly encouraged and highly valued at EIS.
The practical experience of learning enables our children to leave our school daily with either something in their hand, something in their mind and especially something in their heart.
With a rewarding history of achievement behind us, our school community continues to flourish forward with confidence, pride and enthusiasm.
School Principal
