Grade R - Reception

At Windhoek International School (WIS), we prioritise the crucial early years of education, laying the foundation for lifelong learning. Backed by research from the Centre on the Developing Child at Harvard University, we understand that the preschool years are pivotal for children to reach their full potential.

At WIS, we use the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) to provide inquiry-based and supportive interactions that cater to each child's unique development.

In our dynamic learning environments, children engage in holistic learning experiences that integrate socio-emotional, physical, and cognitive development through play, discovery, and exploration. Parents appreciate the individualised approach of the PYP, recognizing that children develop at different rates. Research highlights the effectiveness of the IB's PYP in early years settings, showing significant development in literacy skills, school readiness, and learning skills among participating children.
