Inspiring Young Minds: Our Academic Approach

Science at Intiwasi: Hands-On, Inquiry-Based Learning

At Intiwasi, we spark curiosity through hands-on, inquiry-based science. Using the FOSS curriculum from UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science, students engage in real-world investigations that build critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.

In our Spanish-immersive, multicultural environment, science comes alive through exploration, reinforcing bilingual skills in a meaningful way.

At Intiwasi, science isn’t just taught—it’s experienced!

Building Confident Problem-Solvers with Singapore Math

At Intiwasi, we use the Singapore Math approach to develop deep mathematical understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in our students. This internationally recognized method goes beyond memorization, ensuring children grasp the "why" behind math and build a strong foundation for future success.

Our curriculum follows the CPA (Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract) progression, guiding students through:
✔️ Hands-on learning with tangible materials
✔️ Visual representations to strengthen comprehension
✔️ Abstract problem-solving for real-world application

This step-by-step approach fosters confidence, logical reasoning, and perseverance, helping students master complex concepts with ease.

By integrating Singapore Math into our Spanish immersion program, we empower students to think mathematically in both languages, enhancing their bilingual abilities while excelling in math. Engaging lessons, collaborative problem-solving, and real-world connections make learning meaningful, ensuring students develop a lifelong love for math.

Exploring the World Through Inquiry

Through dynamic Units of Inquiry, students:
✔️ Ask meaningful questions and think critically about the world
✔️ Investigate real-world issues and make connections to their own lives
✔️ Explore diverse cultures, traditions, and historical events

Our hands-on projects, discussions, and research-based learning cultivate empathy, cultural awareness, and global citizenship, preparing students to navigate an interconnected world with confidence and responsibility.

In our Spanish immersion environment, students engage with social studies concepts from multiple linguistic and cultural perspectives, deepening their understanding and broadening their worldview.

At Intiwasi, Social Studies is more than memorizing facts—it’s about exploring the past, understanding the present, and shaping the future!

Learning by Doing: Engaging, Hands-On Education

At Intiwasi, we believe that true understanding comes from active engagement, not passive lectures. Our hands-on learning approach transforms students into curious explorers, allowing them to interact with concepts in meaningful, real-world ways.

Through dynamic, project-based experiences, students:

✔️ Solve challenges through experimentation and problem-solving

✔️ Create meaningful projects that bring learning to life

✔️ Build, design, and explore across subjects in immersive ways.

Whether constructing models, conducting experiments, or expressing ideas through art, our students take ownership of their learning, developing critical thinking, creativity, and a deep love for discovery.

Socio-Emotional Learning & Positive Discipline

At Intiwasi, social-emotional learning (SEL) and positive discipline are at the heart of our approach, shaping confident, compassionate, and resilient students. Research shows that SEL not only enhances academic achievement but also strengthens emotional intelligence, problem-solving, and positive social interactions.

Through a nurturing environment, we help children develop self-awareness, emotional regulation, and strong interpersonal skills. Our positive discipline approach empowers students to understand their emotions, take responsibility, and resolve conflicts constructively.

At Intiwasi, SEL isn’t just a lesson—it’s part of everyday life, preparing students to thrive in and beyond the classroom.

Unlocking Bilingual Brilliance at Intiwasi

At Intiwasi, our Spanish immersion program lays a strong foundation in Spanish while continuing to develop English proficiency. We embrace a multilingual learning environment, supporting students who speak additional languages at home.

Our dual-language immersion approach follows an 80% Spanish, 20% English model, ensuring daily exposure that strengthens reading, writing, and communication skills in both languages. This immersive experience fosters bilingualism and biliteracy, equipping students with the skills to succeed in an increasingly globalized world.

Beyond language fluency, our curriculum nurtures critical thinking, creativity, and confident self-expression, empowering students to communicate effectively and think independently.
