Our School Day

Mornings at ISOCS

Students are welcomed to school between 8.15 and 8.30 and guided to open activities like keyboarding practice and reading until school begins.

For our younger students the day begins with a short period of exercise (Brain Gym, Yoga, Tai Chi or expressive dance) to stimulate learning and build a sense of community.  Announcements are shared at this time.

ISOCS does its utmost to preserve morning lessons so that the class teachers can work with their students, without interruption. Morning lessons typically focus on critical thinking, the development of mathematical and linguistic understanding and exploration of their current unit of inquiry. There is a mid-morning snack time and outdoor playtime.  

Lunchtimes

At midday, everyday but Wednesday, the whole school takes a 10 minute nature walk to enjoy a nutritious, home cooked meal at Teuflibach, Cham’s Robinson Playground. A few children prefer to bring a packed lunch, but everyone eats together.

Afternoons at ISOCS

Afternoons at ISOCS place particular emphasis on creativity, language learning, gym, swimming, sport and local excursions. It is a lively and exciting time to explore possibilities, extend experience and apply our learning. School ends at 15.30.

Optional after-school care can be arranged to meet the needs of our families.

Wednesday afternoons

On Wednesday afternoons, school is dismissed at midday to allow students to have the opportunity to join in with local clubs and activities.
