E L C T I S A What we believe We believe that by encouraging children to explore their world through a rich variety of interesting and challenging experiences, they can construct their own learning, extend their understandings and develop skills. This approach will have a significant impact on their self-esteem and the development of positive attitudes. We value each child as an individual who learns in his/her own way and at his/her own pace. Our mission The TISA Mission is to prepare students to become life-long learners and positive contributors to their local and global communities. TISA will prepare its students for the next stage of their education through a high quality, well-balanced educational programme. TISA will deliver its programme according to the universally recognised educational principles, practices and beliefs of the International Baccalaureate. We meet the mission in the ELC by: • employing qualified and experienced early childhood educators • maintaining a low student - teacher ratio in order to meet the individual needs of children as well as the needs of the group • building strong partnerships with parents to model mutual respect and shared responsibility • creating a warm, colourful and nurturing environment in which children can grow and develop • equipping our facility with a wide variety of developmentally appropriate materials and resources selected to foster the natural curiosity of children
A developmentally appropriate programme The emphasis in the ELC is on learning through play in an environment designed to encourage: • discovery • independence • social skills development by teaching children how to: • make choices • help themselves • take initiative • care and respond to the needs of others We provide children with a balance of child-initiated and teacher-facilitated activities. The program offers children a variety of choices. The classroom environment is ordered around units of inquiry which are interdisciplinary studies integrating areas such as: • exploration, discovery, investigation • play • physical education • language and literacy • art • mathematics • science • music • ICT learning The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) provides the framework for our curriculum throughout the primary school. If you would like more information about the PYP at TISA, please refer to TISA’s Primary Years Programme Guide available from the school office or on our school’s website at www.tisa.az All experiences are designed to provide dynamic, exciting opportunities for gross and fine motor skills development, and development of the five PYP transdisciplinary skills; social skills, communication skills, self-management skills, research skills and thinking skills.
