Pelita International School provides a nurturing environment where every child has the opportunity to explore and develop multiple intelligences, creating students who possess not only high IQ but high EQ (emotional intelligence). Interpersonal and intrapersonal IQ or EQ is specifically taught as a subject from Early Years to Key Stage 4. Our teachers plan and conduct classes that capture students’ interest so that learning is fun and experiential for every student as their 8 multiple intelligences are activated.
Pelita is engaged in touching young lives and raising them to be talents: an asset to their communities and nations at home and abroad. Being part of Pelita has been exciting - engaging, shaping, and raising young lives to realize their dreams and utmost potential. It has been inspiring to watch them grow.
Our team works with deliberation and commitment daily, embracing change to create a rich and memorable school experience for each learner. Our goal is to develop learners who are compassionate, curious, confident, and collaborative. We strive to develop our students to embrace diversity in their communities and experiences. Our ambitions for our students are embedded into a rich curriculum, and an even richer co-curriculum, on an affordable platform.
While the academic expectations of building strong foundations for reading, writing, arithmetic, and communication skills are emphasized life skills and character education are equally important. Life skills enable the children to learn to care for themselves, their environment, and other fellow learners. Meanwhile, character education teaches people skills and includes issues like good manners, consideration for others, and being helpful. Therefore, academic and life skills as well as character education direct the learning outcomes of the Early Years Foundation Stage and contribute to holistic child development.
Primary education will focus on teaching and learning essential literacy and numeracy skills in active learning settings. Students explore concepts and ideas about themselves and the world around them, developing core values to facilitate physical, mental, and character development. Key Stage 1 comprises Years 1 and 2 while Key Stage 2 covers Years 3-6. Upon completion of primary education in Year 6, students will write the Cambridge Primary Checkpoint Exams in English, Mathematics, and Science.
