School Mission
Our school mission is to be one of the highest achieving model schools in Qatar
where students aged 4–11 years old are recognized as active learners, eager and
curious scholars filled with spontaneous interest to learning, creating and
experimenting and acquiring the knowledge and skills to be successful and
prepared to live, learn and work in a globally competitive society. Students
completing their courses of study will be able to enter and succeed in the best
secondary schools in the State of Qatar. In addition to meeting and exceeding
the requirements of the Education Institute, the goal of the school is to seek
external international accreditation.
In partnership with families and the community, the school's mission is to
educate and develop the WHOLE CHILD in her pursuit of excellence in academic
knowledge, skills and behaviour, by building confidence in her ability to
achieve. Our goal is to create lifelong learners, who are responsible and
productive citizens of Qatari society with its religion and culture, and of the
world at large. As part of an education dedicated to the whole child, the school
will also emphasize the social, emotional and physical growth of the child by
providing extra curricular activities in a wide range of interests.
The purpose of this school is to give students knowledge of and appreciation for
their Qatari, Arabic, and Islamic heritage and to prepare them to live in a
rapidly changing multicultural world.
Socialization and school readiness are the main emphases of our Pre-K program
while our Kindergarten program places great emphasis on beginner reading,
science and mathematics skills as well as on an age-appropriate curriculum for
Islamic and Social Studies. The school will go to great lengths to provide all
necessary instructional and support staff, as well as any materials required to
ensure the readiness of our students for 1st grade.
The school will offer an academic program, which places emphasis on the
development of reading, language arts, and math skills in the primary grades.
These skills are reinforced with the teaching of math, language arts, social
studies and science, which all students receive. Also, at the primary level,
students receive instruction in the use of the computer, art, library science,
health and physical education.
The school proposed is a bilingual elementary school for girls wherein
excellence in oral and written communication in both Arabic and English will be
stressed. The curriculum would be divided between English and Arabic as the
medium of instruction. The subjects of Arabic Language and Literature, Social
Studies, and Islamic education instruction would be in Arabic. The subjects of
English Language and Literature, Mathematics, and Science are in English. It is
worth mentioning that the language policy calls for smart use of English as a
language of instruction as the goal is to form students with skills that will
enable them to take advantage of English resources and to widen their horizons
with research and education. Arts will be taught in both languages. Special
attention will be given to instruction devoted to character development in order
to lay the foundation for future citizens who possess high moral principles and
values.
