At FSIS, we firmly believe that creating a diverse and inclusive environment is essential for providing a positive and fulfilling learning experience for everyone. We are committed to promoting these values across our school community, from kindergarten through 7th grade. We have developed a comprehensive plan to structure our school with a strong emphasis on fostering diversity and inclusion. This approach has enabled us to create a more supportive and collaborative environment, allowing all our students and faculty to thrive and reach their full potential
In kindergarten, children between the ages of 2 and 5 are given the best possible learning experience. The classrooms are designed to cater to the needs of young learners, with an emphasis on diverse learning styles. Teachers introduce culturally diverse materials and activities into the curriculum, which allows the children to learn about different cultures and traditions in a fun and engaging way. The teaching staff includes educators from different nationalities as role models, which promotes cultural diversity and provides language exposure to the children.
Children in this stage of education continue to develop foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional learning. The focus is on creating a safe and inclusive environment that promotes a sense of belonging and acceptance among students from diverse backgrounds. To achieve this, teachers integrate a variety of perspectives into their lesson plans and encourage students to share their cultural experiences. Additionally, support services, such as language assistance, are provided to students who are English language learners or who speak languages other than the primary language of instruction
As students progress through their education, they are given the opportunity to refine their academic abilities by delving into more complex concepts across various subjects. Collaborative learning and cross-cultural appreciation are encouraged through group projects and interactive lessons. In addition, teachers play a crucial role in spearheading global discussions and cultivating critical thinking about cultural differences and similarities. In the transition year, our primary goal is to prepare students for the challenges of high school. We focus on developing independent learning skills and self-advocacy, which are essential for success in high school. Additionally, we prioritize diversity and inclusion through interdisciplinary projects and extracurricular activities. Our teachers guide students in navigating cultural differences and promote empathy and respect for all members of the school community
