Children from ages 3–5 years old (Kindergarten) are taught the International Primary Curriculum for the Early Years (IPC), which uses play as an essential part of each child’s academic and social development and fits perfectly with the KSI ethos.^[1][2][3]

Children progressing onwards through Grades 1 to 5 (Primary School, ages 5–11) study the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) to encourage learning through a variety of engaging, stimulating activities based on themes encountered throughout the school year.^[4][5][6]

Language programmes

There are strong English and French programmes at KSI Morges. While the principle language of instruction is English, French is taught at different levels up to a mother tongue standard, as appropriate. The individual approach of teaching at different levels allows for a thorough understanding of the local language, supporting the integration of all students into the local community.^[7]

School life

KSI Morges has an active school life, outside of standard classroom activities. There’s an extensive range of extracurricular activities, with external specialists brought in to provide tuition and coaching in ballet, individual piano and violin lessons, martial arts and soccer training.^[8][9]

The members of the Parents' Network are actively involved in a variety of school activities and sports, as well as preparing for cultural events and festivals.
