How We Teach
Resource
Today’s students have an entire world of opportunities ahead of them.
This is why ZIS provides a varied, challenging and exciting program of learning, that helps every student discover what inspires them.
We want to challenge your child to excel and follow their ambitions. But our approach is about more than this.
We want your child to develop a lifelong love of learning.
This means they will always be open to seeking out new skills and knowledge. It means they will always be interested in different perspectives and ideas. And it means they will always be adapting, evolving and growing as people.
We understand that every child learns differently. We want all students to be able to engage with what’s being taught, and feel that they’re being heard and supported.
We work with our teachers, parents and students to deliver a dynamic and responsive curriculum.
Our Vision for your Child
We want our students to be:
- Active learners who are critical and compassionate thinkers
- Open-minded, resilient, playful and reflective learners who value and demonstrate integrity, compassion and fairness
- Inspired and challenged to develop a lifelong love of learning
The knowledge and experiences your child discovers at ZIS will shape their lives and their futures. But it’s just the start of their journey.
