Elementery School
Built around globally-recognized North American standards, Yangon International School develops students into lifelong learners who are academically well-prepared, socially responsible, culturally sensitive, and personally fulfilled. Reading, writing, and mathematical ability are the foundations of our curriculum which encourages students to learn through discovery and investigation. This type of learning is central to mastery of academic standards which focus on critical thinking.
The ability to use technology meaningfully is critical to our students’ success and provides many avenues for opportunity and expression in all areas of our curriculum, including the fine arts, physical education, electives, and core courses, for students from elementary through to 12th grade.
At Yangon International School, we believe in developing leaders who are global participants and lifelong learners. This begins in our elementary school, where students are inspired to think critically, to create, to collaborate, and to communicate effectively. Our students are empowered learners, who set goals and are motivated to achieve them.
Our exceptionally qualified teachers provide a personalized approach to early childhood education. By using a standards-based approach to curriculum, assessment, and exemplary instructional practices, excellence is no accident. Teachers provide appropriate challenges and target learning needs. Units of study are designed with the end in mind.
Every elementary class has a credentialed teacher who is supported by a full-time teaching assistant. Specialist teachers in music, visual arts, physical education, library, Myanmar studies, and Myanmar music and dance complement learning in the core subjects of English language arts, math, social studies, and science. A technology integration coach works with classroom teachers to integrate technology in transformational ways.
