No, but Bible study and Islamic classes are available.

During Bible study and Islamic classes, the other students have reading time, homework time, or homework guidance time. Their classes are held once a week and before the start of regular class times.

IGCSE

So far excellent / good. The students in SISS approach the exams in a different way. They take accountability of their learning and the exam period is a feedback moment for the students so they themselves can assess whether they are on track and/or whether some corrections in their learning / understanding should be made.

Yes we do, but only if they are unable to complete their task in class. We try to guide the students with their work during class.

An hour

We just started SISS in 2025, so we have yet to see our first batch of graduates — which will happen in 2026.

No, we do not, but we will give personalised and unemotional guidance for those with special needs. We need to assess whether we can help these students or whether we need to refer them to a more specialised school (mostly smaller class sized schools).

See above.

If possible, they will have more challenging work and assignments, they can coach the other students if they need guidance. But they will remain doing group work as much as possible, to enhance their ability to work in a team.

If needed, we will refer them to (an) external party/parties.

Yes, we do - CAT4 and our internal English, Math and Science assessment if we deem necessary.

Students will have to sit for a CAT4 Assessment and if necessary, an English, Maths and Science paper before enrolling. We will invite the parents and students to come in after the assessment and we will go through in detail with both the parties. If there are some concerns, we will stipulate an action plan with them.

At Summer International Secondary School, we believe education should go beyond memorisation. Inspired by the Dutch approach, we emphasise creativity, collaboration, and real-world learning. Our inclusive community encourages students to explore their passion, think critically, and develop resilience. With a strong focus on mental and emotional well-being, SISS prepares young people not only for academic success but also to become innovative, compassionate, and globally minded citizens. Happiness is the key to Success!

At SISS, teaching is student-centred and inspired by the Dutch approach, where creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking are at the heart of every lesson. We use project-based and problem-based learning to connect education with the real world, while encouraging teamwork, leadership, and innovation. Our aim is to nurture confident, curious learners with a lifelong love for reading and discovery.
