School Vision and Mission
The mission of Al-Rafaa Independent Primary Girls School is to enable our
students to maximize the number of future life choices available to them by
broadening their perception and encouraging lateral thinking through the
explicit teaching of thinking skills. Such skills and abilities will be founded
on a solid, challenging curriculum, which will encourage the love of learning
and academic excellence in all subjects. In order to provide a school community
in which the study of science, mathematics, technology, and the English language
are challenging and meet the National Standards, an alignment will be made
between the National Curriculum Standards and the National Curriculum of England
& Wales (NCEW) will be used as a resource. The NCE will serve as a curriculum
model for non-core subject areas.
We teach all subjects in English (with the exception of Arabic, Islamic Studies,
and Social Studies). However, we are sensitive to the challenges this may create
for students who do not possess a sufficient command of the English language to
be successful. So, we plan to offer the curriculum translated into Arabic for
the first few years, while gradually moving towards a full implementation of the
English-language version of the curriculum. For students new to our school, we
plan to offer the majority of instruction in English, so that those students
will be prepared to receive all instruction in English, as they get older.
Recognizing the importance of science, mathematics and technology in today's
science-oriented world and recognizing that scientific thinking and skills can
be used to improve virtually any human activity. Our school’s creative education
plan targets thinking and academic skills throughout the educational situation.
The founder envision a program which will change the current way of thinking
about the sciences and install a love of learning for these subjects by engaging
the students’ bodies and minds in hands-on explorations of the wonders of all
fields of science
We prepare students to be a positive partner in this world by teaching her
religion, loyalty to her country, her history and civilization.
Educational Goals
Our aim is to provide the children with the best possible education, and
our instructional program will be developed based on the SEC’s Curriculum
Standards in Arabic, Math, Science and English. The school curriculum will be in
alignment with the Qatari Curriculum Standards developed by the Supreme
Education Council.
We will follow the National Curriculum of England & Wales (NCEW) for Math and
Science as a resource to support the Qatar National Curriculum Standards. The
NCEW is organized on the basis of Key Stages, with individual progress monitored
by standardized assessment tests. The second stage, called Key Stage 1 is for
students aged six to seven; and Key Stage 2 is for students aged seven to
eleven. The Key Stages determine the course of study for children.
We will teach the curriculum in Arabic initially, while gradually implementing
the curriculum in English as our youngest students get older and demonstrate
sufficient command of English.
