IB Smart Start

SMART START EDGE

Celebrating Individuality:

Each child is unique and special and so is his/her learning journey. We acknowledge individuality of all our young learners and nurture their inherent potential. Schools within the Diocese of Parramatta are not just institutions of learning; they are spaces of wonder, exploration, and infinite possibilities.

At IB Smart Start, we embrace and cherish each student within our diverse and multicultural learning community. We understand and cater to each child's specific strengths, needs and learning styles and consequently customise the learning experiences that we offer.

Our educational eco-system lays equal emphasis on developing the crucial study skills of our students as well as the concepts.

Our commitment lies in creating a supportive and inclusive environment where all our students are empowered to thrive and excel in their unique educational journey.

Our Learning Spaces:

At Smart Start, our learning spaces are thoughtfully crafted to elevate the educational experiences of our students. We have integrated the cutting-edge technology, flexible seating arrangements, and adaptable class sizes to create dynamic learning environments where each student can flourish through personalised care and attention. Whether working independently or collaborating in small or large groups, our students are encouraged to engage in diverse and meaningful ways of learning.

The IBSS Library:

Smart Start digital and physical libraries are vibrant spaces for exploration and inquiry. Students leverage these resources to cultivate a diverse set of learning capabilities rooted in curiosity, creativity, imagination and innovation. This is that space where our little ones get their first exposure to the wonderland of books and imbibe a taste for reading which encourages them to think beyond the routine ideas and develop a lifelong love for learning in a dynamic and stimulating environment.

Student Learning Devices:

At Smart Start, we initiate students into the knowledge and skills that shall hold them in good stead in future. Our young learners are introduced to elementary robotics and IT-enabled education. We provide them access to the cutting-edge technological tools, such as Apple laptops, iPads, TVs, and digital interactive smart boards to ensure that they are gradually prepared to leverage the Innovation Hub in our senior school. Through exposure to diverse technology platforms, our young learners begin to develop digital literacy and problem-solving abilities that makes them future-ready for the tech-driven world! Our commitment to fostering innovation and creativity equips our young students to navigate and contribute to the ever-evolving landscape of tomorrow.

Endless Possibilities with International Partners:

IB Smart Start creates an inclusive environment where parents, facilitators and esteemed partners from national and international spheres actively engage with our young learners. Our personalised learning approach fosters collaboration anytime, anywhere. As an IB School, we leverage formal agreements with various institutions, forming a vast network of strategic partnerships. These collaborations drive research, teaching, and innovation globally, consequently, enriching the educational practices employed in IB Smart Start.

IB Smart Start’s nursery curriculum is designed in collaboration with Smart Start Nurseries in the UK. This partnership ensures that it not only meets international standards but is also NEP-compliant and customised to provide comprehensive early years learning experience. By leveraging the expertise and educational practices of Smart Start Nurseries in the UK, IBSS offers a curriculum that nurtures the holistic development of cognitive, fine and gross motor skills, emotional, social and other life skills in our young learners.
