Welcome to Elementary School at CIS @cayintschool

Looking forward to meeting students wanting to achieve iQTS & schools interested in building partnerships with St Mary’s during our visit to Singapore & KL. We also look forward to meeting others from around the world at our online events. Contact me for more information! #iqts

Our Kindergarten PBL presentation was a tremendous success! Students were so enthusiastic while sharing their learning about Why are insects important to our world? @cayintschool

George Town Primary students visited CIS last week and played arcade games made by 3rd Grade students - their culminating project in STEAM class. Then, some 4th Grade students taught visiting students how to use Spheros. I was impressed by our student ambassadors @cayintschool

Take the next step and begin your doctoral journey at Wilkes! International cohorts are enrolling NOW. We are proud to work w/ NIST in Bangkok, The KAUST School in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, & AES in New Delhi for annual 4-day residencies at each of these locations & in Dubai.

Parents, students and staff had the opportunity to learn in depth about the various plants we have on campus during Grade 5’s PBL celebration / plant expo. Students provided guided tours, virtual information cards, live plant dissections, and more! Well done @cayintschool

Congratulations to our Swimming Gala winners. Some of whom will be competing next week in the interprimary swim meet. Good luck! @cayintschool

A terrific Grade 2 PBL celebration! During the second semester students in grade 2 explore all about the ocean from the perspective of our sustainability principle. Well done 👏 @cayintschool

What did Ancient Civilisations ever do for us? A Grade 4 PBL unit of study has students explore some of the many innovative connections our society has to the past. Their answers to that question were presented at our most recent PBL celebration. @cayintschool

Great weather today for our Elementary Swim Gala!

Embedding strategies that teach literacy skills into science content can boost both engagement and academic performance. 🚀
