Elementary School

Welcome to Stamford American's Elementary School

Ages 6-11

At Stamford American, we understand that every child is unique, with their own abilities and interests. Our Primary Years Programme (PYP) ensures that learning is engaging, relevant, and meaningful, no matter a student’s background. By recognizing each child’s distinct potential, our teachers adopt an inclusive approach to support various learning styles and needs. We empower students with the resilience to take risks and learn from challenges, preparing them for success in elementary school and beyond.

Teaching Philosophy

At Stamford American, we prioritize holistic learning, integrating communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and self-confidence into daily lessons. Our elementary school curriculum incorporates Approaches to Learning, International Mindedness, and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) to develop essential skills like research, self-management, and problem-solving. Through homeroom lessons, co-curricular activities, and the arts, students build resilience and emotional literacy. With structured SEL programs, including weekly check-ins and the Second Step program, our international elementary school nurtures empathy, integrity, and community engagement, laying a strong foundation for lifelong success.

Academic Life

The Stamford American Elementary School Curriculum is based on the American AERO Standards and it is taught within the framework of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Program (PYP). This curriculum structure best supports your child’s academic growth and development by outlining the essential skills and knowledge that your child will acquire at each grade level.

"A school that provides not only academics but social living and mental health management. A group of dedicated teachers and team who build confidence in the students to get ready for the grown-up world!"
