A Foundation for Success: Elementary School (Grades 2-5)

Our elementary school program lays the groundwork for academic excellence. We utilize the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). This inquiry-based approach fosters a love of learning and critical thinking skills. This framework integrates with the New York Next Generation Standards (NYNG) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), ensuring students develop a strong foundation in core subjects aligned with the US Curriculum.

Elementary School Program Highlights

  • Thematic Learning: Students embark on captivating journeys through engaging themes across various subject areas. This integration builds a deeper understanding of the world around them and allows them to make connections between different disciplines.
  • Literacy Development: Our comprehensive program equips students to excel in both English and Arabic. Weekly guided reading sessions, phonics instruction, and interactive "Talk for Writing" activities empower them to become confident and expressive readers and writers.
  • Math Mastery: We utilize Numicon and other engaging math programs to promote flexible problem-solving skills and build a strong foundation in mathematical concepts. Students develop a love for learning math through hands-on activities and interactive lessons.
  • Holistic Development: Besides core subjects, our program incorporates weekly lessons in Physical Education (PE), Information Technology (IT), Art, and Music. These classes promote physical fitness, technological literacy, creativity, and artistic expression, nurturing well-rounded individuals.

Equipping for the Future: Middle School (Grades 6-8)

Our middle school curriculum prepares students for the academic challenges and opportunities of high school. Building upon the foundation established in elementary school, we leverage the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC) to address the unique social and emotional needs of adolescents.
