NISC's Grade 5

Grade five students are an important part of the Elementary School. Fifth graders blossom in a nurturing atmosphere that supports social interaction and high-leveled learning. Through integrated, inquiry based experiences these students maximize their potential for language development while developing into solid writers. They explore both narrative and expository writing while becoming solid and organized communicators through their written work. In addition, fifth grade students boost their literacy proficiency through reading groups that tackle both classic and contemporary novels.

The fifth grade students are beginning to make the transition to middle school. They take part in many adolescently appropriate experiences including Cambodia studies, in which they travel outside of Phnom Penh to experience learning from and contributing to the Khmer people.
