Does a STIF student have to go to the White School?
Yes, the trip to the White School is mandatory for all students. It's a special time for building relationships and working with the class team.
Is wearing uniforms mandatory?
We are a uniform school, so every student is required to wear a uniform - we order them twice during the school year.
Can I order lunches at school?
At school, we have our own kitchen, which accommodates all special needs and allergies. Menus feature seasonal produce.
Do you accept children with certificates?
Yes, but we don't have the same specialists as in integrated schools, and English can be a significant educational challenge. We always approach decisions individually.
Is there a psychologist at school?
Every school has a psychologist, as required by law. However, at our school, they work with teachers because we rely on a solution-based psychology approach.
Can students have a phone/smartwatch at school?
School is a gadget-free zone. We prioritize in-person socialization with peers, while also believing that it's best not to start using a phone too late.
Why don't children take the bus to the swimming pool?
By walking to the pool, students practice their fitness, endurance, pair walking, and knowledge of traffic regulations. And they also get a great warm-up.
Why do first-grade clubs start in the second trimester?
Seven-year-olds are exhausted after seven hours of classes at school, and we also spend the first trimester on naturalization and getting to know the students.
