Cambridge Curriculum (Play Group to “A”- Level)
Junior Section (Play Group – KG 2)
We believe the kindergarten environment should provide opportunities for experimentation, exploration, discovery, challenge, and interaction. An atmosphere of understanding, concern, and compassion should surround the kindergarten child in this most important school experience. We also believe that kindergarten should provide a safe supportive environment that promotes positive self-esteem; and helps children acquire and maintain the skills and attitudes necessary for personal success. A primary goal of the kindergarten year is to develop independent, confident learners who discover the excitement and challenge of learning in their school experience and throughout their lives.
WA facilitates the opportunities for junior students to learn and develop in the way that best suits them according to their age and stage of development. We encourage kids to take a look at their surroundings, assume independently, ask questions and freely express themselves without fear or inhibition. These activities mainly cover the following areas: languages, rhymes, phonics, mathematics, science, creative development, personal and social development, confidence, motivation and concentration, awareness and perceptions of the environment and physical development. We maintain an Islamic environment which helps kid to learn Islamic norms and values for instance, the students learn and apply Masnun du’aas in their daily life activities.
Mid Section (Grade 1 – Grade 7)
We provide our young learners an exposure to wide range of subject areas to keep them motivated to become creative, analytical and continue to achieve academic success. High-quality teaching strategies and methods hinge on fostering children‘s development and learning in all domains—physical, social-emotional, cognitive, and language.
Our Middle school students learn in an interactive and integrated learning environment with a focus on the interrelationships of the core curriculum, Islamic values, and education with a local, regional and global perspective. Students learn from the classroom, experience practical learning through experiments, environment, and different activities.
In co-existence with the English medium curriculum, we are offering “Islamic Environment” and “Deeniyat Course” for teaching Holy Quran with Tajweed and Deen. There are 4 subjects in this course such as 1. Quran, 2. Hadith and Masael, 3. Aqeeda, 4. Islamic Etiquette. The basics of Islam (Aqeedah, Akhlaq, Sirat, Fiqah, etc.) are taught through the Deeniyat series which is published in other countries as well, including Britain and South Africa. Arabic language is taught from Grade-4, by which one can directly understand the meaning of Quran and Hadith. In addition, Fiqh, Aqeedah and other necessary components of religion, are taught through real life practice.
Senior Section (Grade 8 – Grade XII)
Our Senior School’s students are always encouraged to engage, lead, invent, explore, manage, organize, present and compete – equipping them for eventual success in the public examinations under Cambridge International Examinations. The curriculum therefore focuses on student-centered learning using appropriate teaching and learning strategies such as group and cooperative learning. Problem solving strategies, higher level thinking and analytical skills are consistently emphasized during the student’s learning experience.
In order to provide all children in our care with full access to the Cambridge Curriculum and the Islamic Curriculum we ensure that: -
- Children’s educational needs, whether through learning difficulties or exceptional ability, are identified, assessed and provided for
- Parents are fully involved, at all stages, regarding provision for their child’s academic and emotional needs.
- Use is made of all agencies which may be able to assist in the identification and assessment of a child’s special academic needs.
The emotional support that teachers give to students, provides a solid foundation for developing the motivation and cognitive skills critical to positive long term academic outcomes. Indicators of social adjustment in school settings include self-control, emotional regulation, getting along with peers and enjoyment of school.
