Kinder 1

At Smartium International School, our primary goal in this educational stage is to naturally and lovingly connect young children in an enriching learning atmosphere. We understand that during this phase, children’s curiosity about the world around them intensively develops, and their desire for information is channeled through “investigation.” By fostering this exploratory approach, we help students relate the causes and effects of each new experience, enhancing their comprehension and discovery skills.

In Smartium, children:

  • Learn to be independent within their family, school, and community.
  • Develop social skills through play with peers, exploring, and having fun.
  • Apply what they have learned in their daily lives, being creative and productive.
  • Begin to develop critical thinking.
  • Use technology as a supportive tool for their learning.
  • Acquire a love for learning new concepts and applying them.

One of the great advantages of being part of Smartium International School is that from Kinder 1, we start preparing children to become familiar with the iPad as a technological learning tool. We integrate little ones into closing challenge activities that motivate them to learn through engaging and fun experiences. Our goal is to help them seamlessly integrate into the Knotion ecosystem in Kinder 2, considering diverse learning styles and promoting immersive English learning through play. This methodology ensures that students not only develop technological skills but also have fun while learning.
