Welcome to Grade Four at SSIS. This year we have four classes supported by homeroom teachers and two ESL teachers. Our experienced team comes from Canada, New Zealand, Fiji and the USA.   We are lucky to have a very experienced team of teachers with a variety of different specializations.

	Tired students after Grade 4 camp

Our Units of Inquiry are designed to enhance student’s curiosity about the world and create lifelong learners.  Grade 4 camp allows our students to become more independent. Our students are inquirers in the Positive Change Unit when they research about a group or person who has made a positive difference to our world.  At the end of our Persuasion Unit, the students gain confidence presenting ad campaigns for a drink to parents and the school community.

In Grade 4, our goal is to create internationally-minded students.  The students partake in learning engagements that improve their research skills and become more independent learners.  They inquire, share and experiment.  They start asking more complex questions about the world around them. They begin to communicate more formally.  They take important steps to becoming lifelong learners.
