Curriculum: We follow the ministry curriculum for the three articles.
We provide numerous resources and supportive plans to improve the
students’ level where necessary.
• Arabic language: We divide the students into two parts: according to
the nationality (Arab students and Non-Arab students)
• We also divide the Non-Arabs into two classes according to their level
of ability in Arabic.
• We note that all students (Arabs and Non-Arabs) should study the
Arabic language according to the Abu Dhabi Education Council
curriculum.
• Teaching Arabic students to excel when using their native language.
• Introducing Non-Arabic students to the Arabic language as a means of
communication and to familiarise with the Arabic culture.
Department Policy
Home Learning
To further support the students in and outside the school, we provide them
with great resources and follow-up.
We hope you will work closely with your children and encourage them to
carry out their homework to the fullest.
Continuous assessments are one of the policies that we strive to follow
which means one short assessment will be conducted every week as well
as one final assessment at the end of the term.
In addition, the Spelling will continue to be take place every Thursday for
years 2 to 6. Parents will receive the results of the Spelling test on Sunday
with new spelling for the coming week.
As for year 1, they will have their Spelling test on Sunday. The results will
be given on Monday as well as the new spelling for the coming week.
Contacting Staff
Personally, I will be available all weekdays during
school time.
You are free to meet the department teachers every
Monday at 2:30 PM in the Arabic room located in the
new building.
We will also conduct a parents' meeting for each
term as determined by the Head of primary.
As important members of our school community, we
look forward to hear your opinions and contributions.
General tips
Reading, reading, reading… Contribute by promoting this skill to your children, by encouraging them to read, and purchasing stories aimed at simplified Arabic, Comics with exact words, and clear lines.
We also recommend to encourage them to participate in the “The Arab Reading Challenge" launched by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, may God protect him. This is an initiative established in order to encourage a generation of readers.
