Read about SciLearn, a program created by neuroscientists to help pupils and students learn English.

ISO has established a partnership with Nuerasoft, a provider of the SciLearn online program. We would like to briefly introduce it to you, because we consider it an excellent tool for teaching English. Especially if your aim is to develop the perception of English as your mother tongue and improve pronunciation. SciLearn is not the usual online English course that you normally encounter, for example it looks a bit like a computer game, so it may be attractive for children to get points. The learning process enables them to learn by trial and error. The program repeats what is necessary according to individual results. The correct answers then increase the level of difficulty. The student is able to advance at maximum speed, as the program adapts to each click. The program promises success mainly by creating an ‘English brain.’ For this reason, it focuses on training memory, concentrating and processing information in the brain, all- in English. It improves not only grammar but also pronunciation and understanding. The main pillars of the program are: brain preparation for English (processing the right phonemes), unique intensity, reading and pronunciation training ( using unique voice recognition technology). If you are interested in the program, you can look directly at the SciLearn website or contact Ms Monika (monika.hruskova@ischool.cz). Soon we will also share with you a presentation on the program prepared specifically for our school. If there is high interest for this program, we would consider implementing it within the school.
They will gain perfect knowledge of English.
Your child will become a global citizen with wide understanding of local and international topics.
We put a strong emphasis on the development on subject specific skills rather than on acquisition of knowledge.
Emphasis on skills development (not just memorising).
Individual approach; school’s ability to motivate for improvement.
Your child will be excited to come to school.
You are not buying success, you are paying for the school to monitor your child’s progress to their goals and motivate them to fulfil their potential.
We are not a selective school: we believe that everybody can be successful.
Jolly Phonics is an engaging way to teach children pre -reading and pre -writing skills using phonics. Phonics is the teaching of the sounds that letters make, rather than the names of letters that are taught in the alphabet, because it is the sounds that are useful for reading and writing, not the names. These sounds are taught in a systematic way, alongside all of the skills needed for being a fluent reader and writer in future. Jolly Phonics also teaches all of this in a fun and engaging way, through characters, stories, actions, songs and games! To read more about Jolly Phonics, clickhere.
ORT is a reading scheme which has been developed to help children learn to read from the age of 4. This scheme is used by a vast majority of preschools and schools in the UK and around the world.ORT includes popular characters and illustrations such as Biff, Chip and Kipper, Floppy, Wordless Stories and easy regular word books to capture children’s imagination and interest and help them develop their pre reading skills. It is an excellent way to practise the skills learned through the Jolly Phonics Programme..
Cambridge Primary ENGLISH promotes an enquiry-based approach, developing learners’ confidence, creativity and intellectual engagement. Learners develop English skills that they can apply to a range of different purposes and audiences in everyday situations and in study.
We teach English as a first language. Pupils that are only starting to learn English or need some additional support are allocated to our intensive English as a Second Language (ESL) programme.
More about Cambridge Primary EnglishCambridge Primary MATHEMATICS focuses on principles, patterns, systems, functions and relationships so that learners can apply their mathematical knowledge and develop a holistic understanding of the subject. Knowing your times tables facts without practical application and without developing alongside some good problem solving skills is not that helpful - in our school, we make sure our pupils know why they are learning it and how they can use the specific knowledge and skill.
