Teaching and Learning is at the core of all that SKIS does as teachers and as students. Student progress, through exciting and innovative pedagogy, is the school's aim. The school's goal is to create active learners who flex all their learning muscles.

SKIS ensures opportunities to develop these areas are embedded into all lessons. |
