    Preschool

    Instilling A love Of learning

    The Preschool caters to children between 18 months to 5 years of age and is the foundation of the GESS community of learners. The driving force of our pedagogy is the concept that all children have an innate desire to know about their world and are using many ways to develop this understanding. We create meaningful learning engagements that empower them to become life-long learners.

    Primary Years Programme (PYP)

    Our Preschool curriculum is built on the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). Your child will be exposed to an inquiry-based learning environment with focus on language, mathematical, scientific, artistic, and physical disciplines. Through inquiry, children will construct a developmentally appropriate understanding of their world.

    Language of Instruction

    Each child receives instruction in two languages (English and German) at varying points of the day. This will help them become a powerful communicator in an increasingly globalising world.

    Hear what our parents say

    First and foremost, GESS is a community school where you will immediately feel at home. Teachers frequently update parents on the units-of-enquiry, progress made in class and often invite parents to participate in events. What we also appreciate about GESS is that it is not solely centered on academics. GESS offers a holistic programme that truly develops children’s autonomy and critical thinking. I have seen incredible changes in my daughters since enrolling. They have grown leaps and bounds in their confidence, resilience and interest in learning new things. We are most grateful for the calibre of the teachers and for the extra attention that was given to my daughters when they most needed it.
    Charlotte Guerry (French)
    Mother of 2 Children in the GESS Preschool
    Before our eldest started at GESS, going to school was a nightmare for all of us...As soon as he joined GESS, all of this stopped. His teachers understood and respected his nature. They gave him the time and space he needed, even if that meant that he sat in the reading corner while everyone else was engaged in a group activity. Through this strong partnership, we established routines and strategies at school and at home. By the end of the school year, he was a confident little boy who enjoyed group activities and being with his friends.
