Key Features of the Kindergarten Curriculum
Welcome to our innovative Kindergarten (KG) program, where we offer a unique international curriculum rooted in the Massachusetts standards, customized to suit the needs of Emirati and expatriate students. Our KG curriculum is designed to be topic-based and child-centered, providing a stimulating environment for exploration, questioning, experimentation, and enjoyment.
Valuing Every Child
Our approach values each child as an individual, focusing on their efforts, interests, and purposes as integral to successful learning. Physical and emotional health are embedded in our schemes of work, creating an inclusive environment where every child can explore and thrive. Join us in providing your child with a sound, fun, and enjoyable foundation for learning that extends well beyond the kindergarten years.
Fundamental Skills
The KG curriculum encompasses fundamental skills in English, mathematics, and Arabic, fostering an active and stimulating classroom environment. We use the Read Write Inc. phonics scheme to teach reading, writing, and comprehension, with trained teaching staff ensuring effective implementation.
Arabic Language
In addition to English, our students are introduced to everyday Arabic words and phrases through play, song, rhyme, and pictures. The Arabic curriculum emphasizes speaking and listening activities, building a child's basic vocabulary. The learning experience extends to the Arabic alphabet, greetings, counting, identifying objects, and exploring Islamic values, offering a seamless transition into Grade 1.
Learning Through Play
We ensure that children have access to a diverse range of knowledge and skills, laying a robust foundation for their future academic and personal progress. Through engaging activities such as constructive play, creative exploration, conversations, stories, and songs, each young learner develops a positive self-concept, socialization skills, and readiness for a fulfilling school experience.
