Educational Plan
School Mission
Our school will deliver optimal personal and academic growth for every
student, in preparation for a career in Medicine or Engineering. We will serve
male students in years 10, 11 and 12, drawn from all areas of Doha, who have
plans to enter into either the medical or engineering professions. Graduating
students will leave equipped academically and socially to face the world of work
and higher education. They will be fully rounded individuals, with an
understanding of themselves and others, and capable of self-motivation and
discipline. They will have knowledge of their own culture, based in Islamic
traditions and faith, to enable them to balance that against the demands of the
modern world through co-operation and tolerance. These goals will be achieved
by:
-
Drawing our students from a city-wide base
-
Providing a rich and varied teaching environment, with subject rooms of suitable
stimuli
-
Valuing each student and constantly assessing his individual needs and
performance through our pastoral system
-
Involving parents and the wider community in our aims and teaching
-
Developing a range of teaching techniques to deliver stimulating lessons through
in-house training of staff
-
Using a range of assessment criteria as part of the teaching and evaluation
process, including internationally accredited examinations
-
Using technology and displays in the classroom
-
Through discussion and hands-on experience involving students in the problems of
the local community and the world
-
Training Qatari nationals to take responsibility for their own country and its
needs
-
Teaching Islamic values and applying them to life in school and the wider
community
-
Setting individual targets in co-operation with students and parents so that
each student can achieve measurable success by individual improvement
-
Setting out long-term goals for both staff and students
-
Constantly re-assessing staff teaching and learning strategies to ensure best
practice becomes uniform throughout the school
-
Focusing on ‘learning for life’ rather than classroom experience
Educational Goals
It is our aim to make education as relevant and exciting as possible. The
vocational focus of the school will act as a powerful motivating factor, since
students will be able to see that their studies are aimed at delivering a
particular goal. To be successful goals need to be challenging but realistically
achievable; easily understood and providing motivation to all students; and
capable of assessment and evaluation in as objective a way as possible. Our
academic and social goals are mutually complementary, but have been divided here
for ease of itemisation:
Academic goals:
-
Most staff and students will be proficient in English within 3 years. All
notices and documents will be written in Arabic and English, and instruction in
all subjects other than Arabic, Social Studies and Islamic studies will
ultimately be in English. Realistically this will take time and in the first two
years support staff will help in classes such as science, maths and vocational
studies. Since we are preparing students for international study/work, a good
command of English is essential.
-
All students will have grown in knowledge and understanding every year. Each
student, in interviews with his form tutor will set individual attainment
targets, which will be evaluated each term. These will ensure that not only are
weaker students continuing to try, but that brighter students do not become
complacent; each will have to achieve the set targets to be successful.
-
Students will progress smoothly from one grade to the next unless there is
evidence that the necessary skills for coping with the next level have not been
achieved, as outlined in Advancement Policy below. Repeating areas of study are
demoralizing and not motivating. We also want each student to leave and start
higher education at the earliest opportunity.
-
At least 80% of all individual agreed termly targets for staff and students will
be met or exceeded.
-
Within 3 years, at least 80% of all students will be able to enter the medical
or engineering school of their choice upon graduation.
Non-Academic Goals:
Graduating students will be:
-
Well balanced and self-disciplined. Pastoral assessments will monitor these aims
term by term
-
Informed about the modern world
-
Grounded in an understanding of their core culture and faith
-
Able to work without external pressure
All of these areas are important for students aiming to study or work in an
international community and demanding professions.
