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.
