Why EIS applies the
Reggio Emilia Approach:
Learning Through Play,
Transforming Little Minds
The Reggio-inspired approach is built upon fundamental principles that you can also implement at home to help transform through play the quality time you spend with your children during these formative years.
Core Principles
Children are capable of
constructing their own
learning
Children form an
understanding of
themselves and their
place in the world
Children are
encouraged to use
language to explore
Children are encouraged to use language to investigate and explore, to reflect on their experiences. They are listened to with respect, believing that their questions and observations are an opportunity to learn and search together. A collaborative process.
The environment is
the third teacher
The adult is a mentor
and guide
The Reggio Emilia Approach takes a child-led project approach. The projects aren’t planned in advanced, they emerge based on the child’s interests.
An emphasis on
documenting children’s
thoughts
The Hundred Languages
of Children
A hundred different ways of thinking, of discovering, of learning. Through drawing and sculpting, through dance and movement, through painting and pretend play, through modelling and music, and that each one of these Hundred Languages must be valued and nurtured.
We understand the importance of fostering your children's passion for music, dance, or science. At EIS, every term we propose activities to complement your children's educational journey.
Eastwood offers affordably priced, flexible meal plan packages to suit your family's needs throughout the academic year. We also have a cafeteria where students can purchase affordably priced simple sandwiches, healthy snacks, fruit juices, iced tea, and bottled water.
Eastwood offers the PYP in French due to the significance of the French language to Lebanon’s history, culture, and present day affairs, and due to the rise and growth of French on the global stage. Speaking one of the leading languages of business, education, science, technology, commerce and trade is a form of power and access to greater opportunity, and we aim to provide that power and opportunity to students.
