Early Years
Early Childhood Programme at the English International School of Tunis (EIST)
At the English International School of Tunis (EIST), our Early Childhood Programme warmly welcomes children aged 3 to 5, following the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) of the English National Curriculum. This framework emphasises play-based learning, nurturing curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of discovery.
Our classrooms are bright, inviting, and thoughtfully designed to provide a stimulating environment where young learners feel safe and inspired. Through a balance of structured activities and child-initiated exploration, we encourage children to develop critical thinking skills, express their ideas, and build positive relationships with peers and teachers.
What children learn
The EYFS curriculum encompasses seven areas of learning and development, divided into three prime areas and four specific areas:
Prime Areas:
Personal, Social, and Emotional Development
Communication and Language
Physical Development
Specific Areas:
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design
Our dedicated teaching team is committed to nurturing each child’s unique potential, providing a solid foundation for lifelong learning and success.
We believe that every child deserves to flourish in a safe and nurturing environment, where their unique voice is heard and celebrated. At our school, your child will not only receive a world-class education, but they will also be surrounded by a community that cherishes them for who they are.
