Learning from experts, to become experts

Dutch, Music and Physical Education (PE) at IST Primary are taught by specialist teachers. Their in-depth knowledge, training and experience provide our learners with a balanced education.

Dutch

In the context of integration into the Dutch community,  the Dutch lessons at ISTwente Primary focus on enabling students being able to communicate with for example children in their neighborhood, in shops and other everyday situations that are important for this age group. Writing starts in year 5, or when the student’s level of Dutch is advanced enough. The lessons are interactive and taught by a native Dutch speaker.

Music

Because of the diversity of nationalities, our students are not always able to express themselves through language. This is why students are also encouraged to express themselves in other ways, for instance with music. The Music curriculum, where possible, is linked to the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) units of work by the specialist teacher. Composition, performance, listening and appreciation skills are the main elements of the Music lessons.

Physical education

Sports are important activities at ISTwente. All students have Physical Education (PE) lessons from a specialist teacher.
