CRECHE

We admit babies from 3 months old into our Crèche. Our goal is to provide a home away from home for our babies. We encourage continued breastfeed by our moms who have to go back to work soon after childbirth. Our caregivers are trained to provide the best care for the babies, which include flexibility in feeding, sleeping and diapering based on the needs of each individual baby. Our Crèche environment is visually stimulating and engaging for our small minds especially as we recognize that our little brains are like sponges, absorbing everything in their environment.  

PLAY GROUP

The playgroup environment is also very visually stimulating as the children are frequently exposed to educational toys, DVDs and interactive activities.

This is the class the babies move to from crèche. When each child moves depends on a number of factors, the most important of which is that they should already be walking to qualify to move to playgroup. The playgroup class is a very active class and here the children begin to learn to get into routines, preparatory to the structured environment of the Nursery School.

In playgroup the children also begin to get ready for Nursery School. They engage in a lot of singing, dancing, outdoor play, free colouring activities and scribbling (pre-writing skills). The naptimes, feeding and diapering times become more structured and routine.  

The playgroup environment is also very visually stimulating as the children are frequently exposed to educational toys, DVDs and interactive activities.

NURSERY

Nursery class is the beginning of formal school. This is also the transition class to a much more structured environment of formal school.  

We teach the children to feed themselves and towards the end of the school year, they are feeding themselves independently or with minimal support most of the time.

Academically, the children in the Nursery classes learn to recognize the alphabets and each alphabet sound. They also begin to recognize number 1-10. They work on pre-writing skills with emphasis on correct pencil grip. There are also lots of art and music activities, story-telling, basic comprehension skills. We begin to bring the world into the classroom with a lot of visually engaging, interactive activities online using the overhead projectors in the classroom.

We admit children into Years 1 – 6.

ACADEMICS

We offer a rich blend of both British and the Nigerian National curriculums.

Our subjects include English language, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Civic Education, ICT, French, Nigerian Languages (Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba), Physical Health Education, Creative Art, Music, Christian Religious Studies (CRS), and Islamic Religious Studies (IRS). Each student chooses a Nigerian language and opts for either CRS or IRS. The school uses the International Baccalaureate (PYP) ideology in certain aspects of teaching and learning. The Section has very high expectations of its learners in terms of reading, writing and reasoning. In line with its mission statement about meeting every child’s learning needs, AIS keeps a state of the art learning environment tailored towards various learning styles. The primary section is located on the first and second floors of the nursery and primary wing. Classrooms are designed exclusively for safety, comfort and maximum learning. Each classroom is therefore well lit, spacious and organised. Children are able to easily take ownership of their classroom.

We also teach phonics, mental math, handwriting, spelling, verbal and quantitative reasoning both as separate entities and as inclusive aspects of various subjects.

Other learning facilities include a well-furnished art room, science room, ICT suite and music room. The school runs a special education programme for children living with autism, cerebral palsy, down syndrome etc. This programme is managed by special eds. teachers. Afterschool Programme

The school also runs an afterschool session which is recommended for all learners. Afterschool activities include both taught-ahead and reinforcement lessons, homework, ICT, music, art, outdoor games and film shows. The session begins at 2:30pm and ends at 5:00pm. Parents who work late may take advantage of the school’s afterschool programme. The programme also offers an avenue to provide one-on-one attention for learners who might require such help. Afterschool is charged at an extra fee and compulsory for all Year 5 and 6 learners.

FACULTY

Our team of staff comprises an array of rich cultural diversities. AIS teachers are fully qualified and experienced. The school uses a continuing professional development (CPD) approach to enhance the quality of its staff. To this end, teachers meet on Fridays in manageable groups for customised workshops. The outcome of these workshops is a teaching faculty that uses child-centred approaches to maximise the quality of teaching and learning in every classroom.

Our parents also contribute actively to school-life in various ways. For instance, the Section has had the honour of hosting several of her parents during such activities as ‘My mum reads’, ‘My dad inspires’, Career Day’ etc.
