The School Day
Mornings at ISOCS
Students are welcomed to school between 08.15 and 08.30 and
students are guided to open activities like touch typing and
reading until school begins.
The school day starts with a
short movement session of dance, brain gym, yoga or Tai Chi to
stimulate learning. Daily announcements are made at this time.
ISOCS does its utmost to preserve morning lessons such that the
class teachers can work with their class on elements of the
curriculum which require critical thinking and differentiation
for individual student learning needs.
Snack time and outdoor
play give students an opportunity to recharge their energies.
Lunchtime
At midday on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday the whole
school takes a 10 minute walk into the woods to enjoy a
nutritious and delicious home made meal together at “Teuflibach”
Robinson Playground. The meal is catered especially for students
dietary preferences and costs CHF 11- per day.
A
few children prefer to bring a packed lunch but every one shares
a family style eating experience. There after the students
delight in playing in the specially prepared woodland or play
houses.
On Wednesday afternoons school is dismissed at midday
ISOCS believes the opportunity to join in local clubs and
activities is crucial to helping students integrate, learn the
language, and “feel at home” in Switzerland.
Teachers meet
to conduct in depth planning and assessment on Wednesday
afternoons. After school care and language lessons are offered
at school as extra curricular options.
Afternoons at ISOCS
Afternoons at ISOCS place particular emphasis on creative
endeavours, language learning and applications, gym, swimming ,
outdoor sport and adventure and local excursions. It is a lively
and exciting time to explore possibilities, extend experience
and apply our learning into action.
School ends at 15.30 but
afterschool care and activities can be arranged to meet the
needs and interests of our families.
