The Intensive English Programme (IEP) at Prem International School is tailored for Grade 3-8  (8-15 year old) students who need to strengthen their English language skills before joining mainstream IB classes. IEP is a student-centered approach to language learning.  We recognize that learning a language takes time and that each child is unique, learning in their own way and at their own pace. Our goal is to help students who are in the beginning stages of their language-learning journey and to help them become confident and clear communicators in both social and academic settings. Our curriculum emphasizes literacy and English language acquisition skills across core subjects of Science, Math and Humanities. Students are also engaged in a variety of other learning opportunities including Visual Arts, Drama, Cooking, Golf, Tennis and lessons at the farm on our campus.  

As a part of our whole school community, IEP students are also focused on the intrinsic values we expect to see demonstrated in all IB learners, including being compassionate, principled, and open-minded human beings. IEP students are challenged to become responsible and resilient learners, curious inquirers, and confident global citizens. The combination of in-class learning, Prem’s Exploria and Sports after-school options, outdoor education opportunities, and creative arts academies allow for IEP students to experience student life authentically and completely.
