Teaching Team
International Teachers
Each class in primary is assigned to an international classroom teacher in concert with a multilingual teaching assistant. The classroom teacher provides full immersion into the English language by teaching English, Math and Science. Our teaching assistantes make sure that no student is left behind, but catching them up in their local language, in case they are still building their English skills.
This way the we make sure that students with low English skills can follow the Math and Science lessons and they effectivly become content based English lessons.
Staying informed
SRIS Edupage Information System (SEIS)
At Silk Road International School we use our SRIS Edupage information system (SEIS) to document all our activities. Using SEIS parents receive up to date information their child’s grades and timetable. SEIS shows you the curriculum for the whole year and the class register shows you exactly what was taught in each lesson.
The SEIS message system helps you stay in touch with your child’s teachers and informs you about achievements as well as issues that need to be discussed and worked on.
Classroom assistants
Language Support
Many children have not reached English proficiency during their first years at an English language school. Our multilingual teaching assistances make sure they do not fall behind in class and always know what is going on during the lesson. This way children naturally acquire the language in subjects like Math and Science, simply because they are interested in the discussed topics.
Additionally our ESL teachers give extra lessons to students who are still catching up with their level of English.
SRIS Health Center
School Doctor
The SRIS school doctor performs several health related tasks to keep the Silk Road International School a healthy environment. She monitors the health of both our students and teachers and initiates intervention, if neccessary.
Personal Development and Art Therapy
School Psychologist
Each child has its own specific needs. Our teaching team is assisted by our school psychologist, who helps us to understand your child’s development and optimally provide the best stimulation needed.
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)
Captivationg Lessons
While Silk Road students have at least five english classes per week, these English lessons are not the only time they learn English.
We observe that a lot of progress is made when students are not even aware that they are learning English. Students are eager to learn more about the world. So when they learn about – BOOKS.
e.g. the science activity book (workbook) used for practices and homework, does not only reinforce the acquired knowledge in science, but enforces the students to use the right key terms in English and provides answer schemes to actively have them practice to express what the learned in English.
Especially in lower grades it helps students to activley use English as a language to express thoughts and ideas.
Science experiment let them experience the world around them in a very interesting way and build up experiences and fine motor skills.
Cafeteria
Our students receive breakfast and lunch in our school’s cafeteria.
School Transport
Our logistic partner picks up your child in the morning and returns them after school.
