Welcome to Primary at ICSV!

Our Primary class is where your child’s academic journey begins. For students aged 5-6, our devoted educators create a supportive environment where young learners are equipped with the academic foundation and social skills needed to succeed in Grade 1 and beyond.

Primary is the first year of academic learning in the American curriculum. Through engaging learning activities, young learners build a strong foundation in reading, math, science, and social studies, preparing them for future success.

Guided by dedicated educators, students receive individualized attention, ensuring every child feels supported in their learning journey. Beyond academics, we focus on character development, social skills, and confidence-building, creating a balanced approach to early education. Download our Primary Profile.

What a day in Primary looks like

Primary students attend a balanced and engaging school day filled with hands-on learning, collaboration, and play. Students attend core classes daily and special classes twice a week. They enjoy lunch breaks, recess, movement breaks, and snack time to recharge during the day.

Holistic Education with Christian Values

We believe in nurturing not only the mind but also the heart. Our holistic approach to education provides students with spiritual and character development opportunities. Through Bible classes and weekly Chapel sessions, students engage in songs and stories that inspire character growth and values.

Technology 

With teacher guidance, students benefit from technology resources that complement their learning experience. Our primary class is equipped with iPads, which provide visual information to reinforce learning.

After School Clubs

Learning does not stop at the end of the school day. Primary students can join a variety of After School Clubs throughout the year, including Art, Gardening, Lego Building, and more! Find out more about our Elementary Clubs.
