Presentations A hallmark of the Steiner-Waldorf approach is celebrating our young students’ development through presentations which allow them to showcase their knowledge, skills, and talents while fostering confidence and collaboration. Festivals Throughout the year, we celebrate seasonal festivals that connect students to the rhythms of nature and cultural traditions. They often involve storytelling, artistic performances, music, and shared meals, creating a sense of joy and community. Arts Crafts Imagination and experimentation are nurtured through artistic activity and practical work. Handwork lessons in primary, help develop fine motor skills and develop a healthy tactile sense while working with a range of natural materials.. The activity of "crafting" or craft-making is an intrinsic part of our student's development at AIS. From early years of primary through to secondary. It is in the very nature of crafts that their manual creativity brings ideas to expression. Games / PE An important aspect of our timetable in primary through to Class 6 is the Main Lesson. One of the core subjects is studied in depth for three weeks every morning. A wide range of Main Lesson subjects are studied over the course of the school year within the framework of a clearly defined curriculum e.g. History, Maths, English, Geography, Natural Science.

There are no text books, rather the students create their own Main Lesson book for each subject based on the material presented by the class teacher.

During the rest of the school day, the students follow a timetable of lessons in other subjects which are taught by specialist teachers.

These lessons are on a fixed timetable throughout the year and include: Maths, English, Science, Spanish, Valenciano, German, Music, Art, Crafts, ICT, Gardening and PSHE (Personal and Social Health Education).

The Main Lesson books are carefully crafted and illustrated and are a record of the student’s progress over the year. The Main Lesson work is assessed by an evaluation that includes a peer assessment, a self-assessment and a teacher’s assessment. The Teacher’s assessment covers 4 areas depending on the subject including Content, Effort and Presentation. All Main Lesson blocks are taught by the Class teacher.

Residential trips and excursions are organised in conjunction with the Main Lesson areas of study.
PE and games in primary contributes to their personal and social development, reinforcing healthy and social habits and supporting overall wellbeing. This active and fun part of the curriculum (often outdoors) supports the foundation of teamwork and communication skills. MAIN LESSON Gardening The school maintains a garden where students grow their own vegetables and herbs. This hands-on experience teaches them about the growth cycle of food and the importance of agriculture.
