THE SUN SMART FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

The Sun Smart Foundation International (SSFI) School emphasises on a learning environment based on enquiry, exploration, research and collaboration. The school’s vision interlocks the ‘Empathise – Think – Do – Learn’ process with the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) curriculum to suit the needs of our learners. This results in us being a ‘Thinking School’. Our staff has imbibed our philosophy and share their joy of teaching and learning with students. This shared thrill forms the cornerstone of our ‘Happy School’. Our focus is to help children develop personal responsibility, resilient learning habits, and positive attitudes about themselves and the world around them. We nurture this with a supportive learning environment. Our curriculum promotes principles of respect, collaboration, open mindedness, and creativity. Socio-emotional development and mindfulness are a core strength of our system, and we ensure that every child feels safe, supported, and motivated. We are committed to excel. A strong pedagogy enriched with relevant co-curricular programmes is critical for the success of the learner. We, at SSFI, have developed Pre-Primary and Primary Programs that are complemented by our programs in movement, dance, drama, art, physical education, and music. Our accreditation to CAIE supports our vision. While the program itself is benchmarked to best practices and has built-in rigour, we are very conscious of the quality of teaching we offer. Research shows that the quality of teaching is an important factor in learner achievement. A Continuous Professional Development program is an integral part of our school calendar.
