APU American International School – Preschool & Elementary Campus follows an American curriculum taught entirely in English and aligned with U.S. education standards. The Preschool program introduces early literacy and numeracy through a play-based learning approach, supported by the Jolly Phonics system for phonetic reading and writing. In Elementary School (Grades 1–5), students study core subjects including English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies, using U.S. programs such as Go Math, Interactive Science, and Next Move for English Language Development (ELD). The curriculum also includes Art, Music, Physical Education, and Information Technology, encouraging creativity and foundational skills. Students receive structured English support through the ELD program to strengthen academic language skills and prepare for later middle and high school coursework within the APU system.
APU’s Preschool & Elementary campus in District 11 delivers an American curriculum with instruction in English and dedicated English Language Development (ELD) support. Learning in the early years emphasizes play-based approaches alongside structured programs such as Jolly Phonics, Go Math, Interactive Science, and leveled readers. Beyond classrooms, younger students can join the STEM-Robotics Club and take part in music activities and International Arts Week. Families across the city can use APU’s Shuttle Bus service, which operates pick-up and drop-off in every district with electronic student cards for safety and punctuality. APU also offers a boarding (dormitory) option close to campus for families who need it. The school’s pathway is aligned with U.S. education, and APU publishes information about AP and College Bridge opportunities as students progress through later grades.
