Academics

One School. Four IB Programs. A Path for Every Child.

At WISS, the IB is more than a curriculum. It shapes every stage of learning, from a child's first day in Nursery to their final Grade 12 exams.

The IB Continuum

One philosophy. One framework. One continuous journey.

Learning begins with play and grows through inquiry. From a child's first day in Nursery to their final Grade 12 exams, the same philosophy carries through every stage.

Four pillars hold it together: academics, arts, sports, and community service. Each phase builds the knowledge, skills, and character students need for the next.

  • Four pillars: academics, arts, sports, and community service
  • PYP, MYP, DP, and CP under one roof
  • A continuous path from age 2.5 to 18
  • 1:8 average teacher-to-student ratio
