Why Us
Qualified Staff
At HISA we believe that qualified staff is crucial to providing a high quality programme. Our staff will ensure a solid pedagogical approach and developmentally appropriate programme that meets the individual needs of your child is. Research shows that the more qualified staff a school has, the higher the quality of care, learning and development for children. It is widely recognized within education that training and qualifications are crucial for quality early childhood education.
Staff to Child Ratios
At HISA we believe small group sizes and high staff-child ratios also contribute to higher quality education and care for your child. Higher staff: child ratios for younger children are a priority to maximize opportunities for building respectful and caring relationships with children and their families, as well as building on their learning opportunities.
Staff Professional Development
Teacher training in early childhood education is important for quality. Harvard International School of Alexandria prides itself on ensuring that the latest research in child development is used to critically reflect on our teaching practices and implemented where appropriate.
Having qualified staff ensures that programmes are based on current knowledge, ensuring that children’s social, emotional and intellectual development needs are met. It also provides leadership to other staff.
