Learning at ICCC

We make learning exciting with the International Early Years Curriculum, developed by Fieldwork Education, UK.

At ICCC children learn basic reading and writing skills through Jolly Phonics. The program uses the synthetic phonics method of teaching the letter sounds in a way that is fun and multi-sensory. We help each child master basic mathematical concepts with special toolkits like Abacus Evolve.

    How did you hear about ICCC?


    ICCC Membership is annual and is paid in full for the school year in attendance (September – June). Attendance in July and August is optional. When a child joins after the start of the school year the fee is calculated proportionally. There is no discount for longer absences for holidays or other reasons.

    ICCC is open 12 months a year between the hours of 8.00a.m. to 18.00p.m.. While all care and attention will be given to safeguard the children during these hours, the Center will not be responsible for any injury caused beyond the control of staff. No responsibility will be taken outside working hours.

    ICCC admits children based on space availability and age. Priority is given to siblings, English native speakers and expat families.
