International primary school: a strong foundation, with a love of learning
In primary school your child comes to love reading, inquiry and learning. With the IB Primary Years Programme and Cambridge we offer an international foundation, and with dual foreign language and CAP a well-rounded development.
Curious, active, inquiring learners
An international primary school is where the academic foundation and learning habits are formed. At Gökkuşağı our aim is for your child to learn not only to read and write, but to wonder, to inquire and to love learning.
With the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Cambridge we offer an inquiry-based education to international standards. Dual foreign language (English and Spanish) develops the four core skills in balance.
Alongside academics, social skills, art, sport and values develop as a whole, supported by CAP activities and guidance.
What we focus on at this age
Every level has different priorities. The four areas we value most in your child's development during Primary School.
- I
A Love of Learning
Your child experiences learning not as an obligation but as an enjoyable journey of discovery.
- II
A Strong Academic Base
A foundation in reading, writing, mathematics and inquiry to international standards.
- III
Dual Foreign Language
English and Spanish; the four core language skills develop in balance from an early age.
- IV
Social Skills and Values
Sharing, cooperation and responsibility grow with CAP and guidance support.
A Primary School student's journey
Take a closer look at the programmes that shape your child's development during Primary School.
Today’s foundation, tomorrow’s confidence
Across eight campuses since 1997 we have seen that the reading culture, love of learning and study habits gained in the primary years shape your child’s entire educational life. That is why we build the foundation not only academically, but emotionally and socially too.
With guidance and psychological counselling support, your child grows into a confident, happy individual alongside their academic development.
Primary School questions answered
The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Cambridge provide an inquiry-based education to international standards. These programmes enrich the national curriculum with an international framework.
Inquiry-based learning places the child’s curiosity at the centre of learning. Rather than memorising, the child acquires knowledge through discovery, turning reading and learning into an enjoyable experience.
No. At this age languages are acquired naturally, through play and real communication. English and Spanish develop the four core skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening) in balance.
Alongside academic development, social skills, values and emotional growth are also a priority. CAP activities, art and sport, together with guidance and psychological counselling, support this development as a whole.
