Sun Smart Foundation International School, Chennai

DESCRIPTION :

The Sun Smart Foundation International School is a happy school located at Anna Nagar. Being an accredited CAIE (Cambridge Assessment International Education) school, gives us the freedom to deliver an inquiry-based program and design a curriculum that is guided by a Question-Think-Learn process. SSFI is a primary school, one of the many schools under the aegis Vailankanni Charity Trust, a prestigious name in the field of education which has been around for five-decades. The SSFI is a brainchild of this institution.

We are a young school with a commitment to grow and excel. We believe that a strong pedagogy enriched with relevant co-curricular programme is critical for the success of the learner. So, we at SSFI, pay a lot of attention to the curriculum and its delivery in our classrooms. 

Fortunately our accreditation to Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) which is benchmarked to best practices and has built-in rigour supports us in furthering our vision. Research shows that the most critical factor that impacts learner achievements is teaching quality. We are very conscious of this and hence Continuous Professional Development is an integral part of the school calendar. 

The focus through a supportive learning environment is on enabling children to develop personal responsibility, cultivate resilient learning habits, and build positive attitudes about themselves and the world around them. This is nurtured throughout the curriculum by promoting principles of respect, intellectual inquiry for understanding, and healthy relationships. The focus is also on the socio-emotional development and mindfulness of every child to ensure that every child feels safe, supported and motivated. 

The school staff consistently maintains high performance standards, aligning it?s actions and practices to the school's vision and mission statement thus striving to enhance facilities and opportunities for students and work towards continual improvement.
