The SISU Program

Forget the subjects. Think BIG.

We welcome students aged 1-6 years old for the academic year 2021-2022. Ikigai SISU School offers a bilingual program where the core subjects (English, Math and Science) will be taught in English.

​

The SISU Program consists of three levels:

SISU Kids - KG and Preschool (Ages 1-5)

SISU Students - Elementary (Age 6 / Grade 1)

​

SISU Program is not based on the traditional division of subjects. We think bigger. Throughout elementary and middle school, children study phenomena combining different subjects, especially English, Mathematics, Science and Arts rather than focusing on discreet subjects.

​

The core contents of the program are five different areas together with the unique SISU Skills that prepare students for life. 

​

SISU program has been prepared by experienced pedagogical experts and teachers with many years of experience in the field of education both in Finland and international contexts.
