2. 0:06At the Australian International School,
3. 0:08we believe that the early years are a
4. 0:10time of boundless curiosity and
5. 0:12potential. Our early years curriculum is
6. 0:15built on over 30 years of experience
7. 0:17integrating globally recognized
8. 0:19frameworks, including the Reio Amelia
9. 0:22philosophy, the Australian early years
10. 0:24learning framework and the IB PYP
11. 0:27framework. This rich approach fosters
12. 0:29children's holistic growth, including
13. 0:32academics, well-being, and developmental
14. 0:35outcomes, creating the foundation for a
15. 0:38lifetime love of learning. Our
16. 0:40passionate educators recognize that
17. 0:43every child develops at their own pace.
18. 0:46They carefully observe and respond to
19. 0:48the needs of individual children to
20. 0:50create tailored learning experiences
21. 0:52that match their abilities and
22. 0:54interests. Our purpose-built early
23. 0:57learning village is designed to nurture
24. 0:59and inspire young learners, ensuring
25. 1:02they feel safe, supported, and excited
26. 1:04to explore the world around them. Our
27. 1:07children develop a sense of belonging
28. 1:09and community from their secure pods
29. 1:12while accessing specialist facilities
30. 1:14made just by size. Here they engage with
31. 1:17passionate specialist teachers who weave
32. 1:19in elements of music, physical education
33. 1:22and health, language and literacy to
34. 1:24foster talents and passions from an
35. 1:27early age. In their home room classes,
36. 1:30children build new connections daily
37. 1:32through inquiry based learning, making
38. 1:34predictions, forming hypotheses, and
39. 1:37testing their theories about the world
40. 1:40around them. Inspired by a book about
41. 1:42construction, children can design and
42. 1:45build structures using blocks and
43. 1:47recycled materials, they measure heights
44. 1:50with cubes or their hands, problem solve
45. 1:53when structures collapse, and describe
46. 1:55their creations, integrating
47. 1:57storytelling, new vocabulary, and basic
48. 2:00maths concepts. Learning extends beyond
49. 2:03the classroom with various special
50. 2:05interest after school activities such as
51. 2:08swimming, karate, drama, basketball, and
52. 2:12more. Exciting events throughout the

54. 2:17talents, celebrate achievements, and
