Lower Elementary
A joyful, inquiry-rich start to school for children aged 2.5 to Grade 1.
PN to Grade 1
A foundation built on wonder.
Lower Elementary at WISS is the start of a child's lifelong love for learning. Our Pre-Nursery, Nursery, Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and Grade 1 children flourish through hands-on, play-based inquiry — the heart of the IB Primary Years Programme.
Caring, qualified teachers create environments where children feel safe, seen, and excited to explore. From building bridges in our atelier to splashing in our dedicated pool, every part of the day connects to learning.

Creative Arts
Visual arts, music, and movement are part of every week — through specialist teachers and project work.
Maths & Science
Concepts come alive through hands-on materials, problem-solving, and real investigations.
Personal & Social
We grow responsibility, empathy, and self-awareness through everyday classroom routines and reflection.
