Acamdemics
Primary School at DIS (Ages 6–11)
At Diligence International School, our Primary School program is designed to nurture confident, curious, and capable learners. We serve students aged 6 to 11, guiding them through a critical stage of academic, social, and emotional development.
Our comprehensive curriculum blends international academic standards with innovative teaching approaches. We emphasize core subjects like English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities (Geography & History), and Additional Languages (Arabic, French and Kiswahili) while also offering enriching experiences in Art & Craft, Physical Education, ICT/Digital Literacy, Religious Studies (IRE/CRE) and Guidance & Counseling. Lessons are designed to be interactive, purposeful, and connected to real-world experiences.
We believe that learning should be engaging, meaningful, and learner-centered. Our students are encouraged to ask questions, think critically, collaborate with others, and take ownership of their learning journey.
Our Primary School approach is built on the following principles:
- Holistic Development
We focus on the intellectual, emotional, physical, and social growth of each child, nurturing well-rounded individuals. - Inquiry-Based Learning
We promote curiosity and active participation through projects, experiments, and investigations that encourage deeper understanding. - Supportive Environment
Our classrooms are safe, inclusive, and welcoming spaces where learners feel valued, respected, and empowered to take risks and grow. - Differentiated Instruction
We recognize that each child learns differently. Our teachers tailor lessons to meet diverse learning styles and needs. - 21st Century Skills
We equip students with essential skills such as critical thinking, communication, creativity, collaboration, and digital literacy. - Continuous Assessment
Student progress is regularly monitored through both formative and summative assessments, ensuring they receive the support and challenge they need. - Character Building & Citizenship
We instill values such as responsibility, empathy, integrity, and respect—preparing students to be positive contributors to their communities.
At DIS, our Primary School is more than just academics—it's a vibrant learning community where every child is inspired to dream big, work hard, and shine in their own unique way.
