Lower School (Grade 1 to Grade 5)

---

The Lower School Program at HIS implements young learners to create a strong academic foundation for better development in learning skills such as cooperation, self-expression, respect, and empathy. These fundamental social-emotional learning skills will be enforced in daily classroom curriculum alongside Systems Thinking, Monitoring, Bible, English, Math, Science, Physical Education, Computer Literacy, Library, Theatre, Music, and Art. At HIS, we create a positive environment to result in positive relationships with peers and adults infiltrating various community service projects to put our young learners' values into action.


The academic needs of grade 1 are significantly different from that of grade 2 to 5 students. As a result, HIS provides an environment for young learners that will tailor to the needs that best suit our youngest students. These programs balance academic requirements and set stages for children's lifelong love of learning with the help of exploration, play, and collaboration, ultimately preparing them for their next levels of education.  


Due to the continuous development of technology around the world, HIS ensures Lower School Students are prepared within their generation through Makerspace and multimedia computer labs. This includes 3D printers, green screen filming walls, and robotics that enhance our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) curriculum.


HIS private school provides grades 1 through 5 a mixed-age environment. This small group environment provides supplementary attention that encourages students at an early age to learn more about themselves and learn from their peers. These Heritage Core Cultural Norms will instill many more opportunities for our future leaders.     


HIS recognizes the need for Elementary students to part-take in after school clubs and activities. Our Educational Enrichment Program allows Elementary level students to participate in hobbies ranging from table tennis to robotics and chess, all unique to HIS.
