Welcome to Best International School in Mumbai - SPXIS
Peek-a-boo!!!
A warm hello to all the parents and their young ones to one of the best international preschools in Mumbai
St. PIUS X welcomes you all to a place where hard-work and sincerity are the ways of everyday school-life. We believe in the motto “Pursuit of wisdom”; after all, learning is an evolving process that will never cease to exist. Our staff has over a decade of combined teaching experience in the field of education. At St. PIUS X international preschool Mulund- we aim to help our students to grow into ‘responsible world-citizens’. Thus, we have adopted one of the best teaching practices in the UK i.e. the international early year curriculum (IEYC); to ensure that your child is not only learning but also enjoying his or her early school life.
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.
For us- education is much more than a few books!
The IEYC is a complete package designed to meet your child’s intellectual and creative needs. After all, as an international school in Mulund- we know that your 2 to 5-year-old child needs more than just some intellectual support; he also needs help with his social and emotional development. Because this is the first time when your child will be interacting with foreign people and objects to form opinions of his own. Thus, we, as an international school Mumbai have further inculcated holistic and play-based teaching approaches, along with our IEYC.
What is an international early year curriculum (IEYC)?
To be exact- IEYC is an innovative teaching method that has been adopted straight out of the United Kingdom’s educational methodologies. And, here at St. PIUS X international school-we are proud to claim that we are one of the very few international preschool Bhandup, Mumbai to have successfully adopted IEYC. The entire IEYC is distinctly divided into a few parts, and they are:
- 8 learning principles
- 2 learning phases
- 6 stage-child learning
- 4 learning strands
This one-of-its-kind teaching practice of international preschool Nahur helps the children by supporting their desire to learn and grow. Further, this method also ensures that children are given their required amount of time and space to grow; thus, avoiding a set scoring system in this curriculum. Also, our international preschool in Mulund, Mumbai encourages the children to flourish their curiosity and personal interests; which will help them to gain new appropriate experiences.
The priorities, in which we believe-
As one of the leading international school in Mumbai, we have set our priorities straight, and they are:
Providing the right environment
For your tiny toddlers, our Cambridge board school Mulund will be the first place wherein they will be exposed to society; thus, acting as the first step towards their brighter future. Therefore, providing your young one, with the right kind of learning environment, is one of our most important priorities.
Education through experience
One of the most important attributes that we, as humans possess is to evolve through our experiences. Similarly, your child too will greatly learn from the experiences that he or she gathers during his or her time at the Cambridge Board School Bhandup. Thus, as a part of your child’s learning experience; we as educators, arrange numerous field trips, outdoor events, etc.
Holistic approach
It is not just the intellectual development of your child which is important; because, it’s the overall improvement that matters. Hence, here at Cambridge board school Mulund, our prime focus is on your young one’s holistic development; to teach them the values that will help shape their future.
Your ‘TOTs’ security is our priority
Your tot’s early life is pretty similar to that of a sapling; it too needs protection from the foreign factors; and, the Cambridge board school near Nahur knows that as well! Thus, we take extra precautions to ensure that your child is safe and sound when venturing into the outside world.
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.

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
