Educational Plan

School Vision
Our school aims to create a nurturing learning environment where students, faculty and families work together to maximize every student’s academic potential, ethical behaviour and personal growth. Guided by our core values, respect, responsibility, relationship and the promotion of life-long learning, our school will honour the special gift in each child and support all learners within a safe and flexible learning environment. Our adolescent girls will be guided towards becoming meaningful contributors to their present and future families and to an ever-diverse international society.

The Mission Statement
Our school inspires learners to engage the future and reach their personal potential in a creative and supportive “learning organization” (Senge, P. 2000. “Schools That Learn”). We empower our students to compete and excel in a global community by providing them with quality teaching, integrated technology and a high level of confidence and self-esteem. Our school promotes a balance between family values and social leadership. It sets high academic standards for its young women in all core subjects. It also prepares our students for an effective family role as well as for successful entry into the senior school of their choice.

The school is:

• Committed to providing a challenging, enriching and supportive learning environment which develops confident, articulate young women who have the skills, knowledge, values and attitudes to shape their future and contribute meaningfully to their immediate society and to the international community
  
• Encouraging students to gain a sense of excitement in learning, develop optimism and the ability and initiative to apply what is learned in dealing with daily life situations
  
• Helping students to develop high self-esteem and a commitment to personal excellence through preparing them for the standardized national exams in the four core subjects and also for entry to senior school
  
• Supporting students in sustaining an individual point of view, while respecting the rights of others and engaging actively in group decision making
  
• Supporting development of a sense of the student’s own cultural heritage, as well as an understanding and appreciation of diversity and its place in the world
  
• Working with students towards a better appreciation of the continuing contribution of women to family life, the world and workplace and the need to equip them to become contributing and active members of our changing world

Education Goals
The preparatory school years are all about reinforcing and developing basic skills and achieving results that will assist our children to grow in confidence and be able to take the next step in their education, comfortably.

Our school recognizes six broad objectives for high school education as follows:

• Critical and Creative Thinking: Students learn to question, interpret, and discriminate in order to develop logical, imaginative thinking. They learn to explore, analyze and evaluate information, use it in problem solving, and are challenged to articulate, revise, and defend their thinking.
  
  
• Communication: Students learn to listen, speak, read, write and interpret effectively as individuals and as members of cooperative groups. They become aware of how culture, art, music, dance, drama and sport serve as vehicles for self-expression in extending communication.
  
  
• Technological Integration: Students develop an appreciation for the value, as well as the limitations of technology. They will learn to evaluate the environmental, cultural, and social impact of technological changes.
  
  
• Personal and Social Values: Students develop personal skills including goal setting, self-discipline, self-motivation, organization, and time management, which contribute to a healthy self-esteem. In addition, students are expected to extend consciousness beyond self in order to develop a healthy social values system based upon respect for others.
  
  
• Global Awareness and Understanding: Students acquire this through cultural sensitivity, international appreciation and understanding. Students develop an appreciation of the interdependent responsibility of nations and individuals in preserving the environment.
  
  
• Independent Learning: Students are encouraged to engage themselves in their intellectual and social environment, not only to enhance their school years but also to establish a pattern of involvement and enquiry that will extend into adult life.
  
  
• Patriotic identity: Reinforcing the patriotic spirit through introducing the Qatari heritage and preserving the customs and traditions through incorporating them in all subjects and strengthening this identity through curricular and extra curricular activities.
