Dear Parents Welcome to SPXIS!
Learning is a process that never ends, hence our motto “Pursuit of Wisdom”. We aim to ensure that our children enjoy a wide range of learning engagements and real-life experiences which bring the curriculum to life and make learning engaging and fun. We want our students to be lifelong learners, good communicators, responsible citizens and culturally sensitive individuals. It is widely accepted that it is in the early years that the foundations of a successful education are laid. We acknowledge the importance of this stage by adopting the best practice of the UK - based International Early Year Curriculum (IEYC) to provide your children with the best possible introduction to their school life.
IEYC Guiding methods
The IEYC is an innovative 8 learning principles, 2 learning phases, 6 child learning stages, and 4 learning strands methodology is unique. The earliest years of life are important in their own rights. Children should be supported to learn and develop at their own unique pace. Learning should be motivating, engaging and fun, opening up a world of wonder for children where personal interests can flourish. All IEYC learning and development is underpinned by a set of four Learning Strands. Each Learning Strand provides descriptions of what children will experience and learn about through contextualized activities woven into IEYC units of learning. The IEYC believes that children should have experiences which are both appealing to them and developmentally appropriate.

Our Environment
We Are Providing an Environment for Our Students to Grow & Excel
An environment that is enabled for learning is one where children feel safe to explore and provide opportunities for social, emotional and personal development to take place. An enabled environment is not static; it is developed over time by responding to each child's learning journey. Capturing a picture of what children are curious to explore and learn about is essential to planning a learning environment that enables children to engage, play, explore and develop knowledge and increasing understanding, and new skills.
The IEYC process of learning
The IEYC process of learning captures children's natural curiosity as a starting point and within the proper environment balances child-initiated and teacher-guided learning.

The process should continue as the IEYC unit of learning evolves; it requires teachers to observe, listen, question and reflect on what children are interested in. Capturing a picture of what children are curious to explore and learn about is essential to planning a learning environment that enables children to engage, play, explore and develop knowledge, an increasing understanding, and new skills.

Learn By Doing
Children should be supported to learn and develop at their own unique pace, in conjunction with the eight IEYC Learning Principles, rather than to focus merely on achievement alone. The IEYC suggests that by the end of the curriculum, children will have typically developed knowledge and on increasing understanding of specific aspects of learning and development, and the skills of being able to demonstrate learning and development in practical ways.
A Word
From Our Principal
"St. Pius X High School has always been and will be a premier institute of education. However, in keeping with the mind of the Archdiocesan Board of Education (ABE) to which the school is affiliated, we have sought to broaden our horizon. It is our sincere desire to cater to students of other boards (UK based), namely International Early Years Curriculum & Cambridge International Examinations (CIE).
We warmly welcome all to St. Pius X International School (SPXIS) and we deeply urge our students to delve into this curriculum and imbibe our motto “Pursuit of Wisdom”.
Wishing you all the best. God bless."
-Father Gavin D'Souza
