Arabic and English Proficiency
It is crucial that children start at an early age to attain a high level of proficiency in both Arabic and English. For this purpose, our subjects are taught in Arabic and English and our students demonstrate their competitive spirit in spelling bee contests and reading and writing competitions in both languages. Technology
Technology is an integrated tool in the school for the support and the benefits of our students. The interactive white boards (IWB) will be used in our school to enrich and complement learning and to integrate it with real life. In addition to formal weekly computer lessons, students are offered several opportunities to develop their computing skills through various activities. Building Student Character
Students in KG class have show-and-tell presentations in Arabic and English. This develops early presentation skills, encourages public speech, builds self confidence and keeps students in touch with the latest technologies. Additionally, each class in the Primary stage prepares something to show to the other classes during our morning assembly. Field trips are planned throughout the year to develop our young learners’ inquisitive nature and to enrich the material that is learned in class. Student Life
Costume parties, races, celebrations of different occasions, campaigns and School Themed Thursdays are among the several fun activities that our young students take part in throughout the year. Counseling

S/he works with students, parents and teachers to design successful learning and social environments and to resolve a large range of student-related behavioral and academic issues.
