Curriculum Overview

The teaching of Arabic Language for both native and non-native speakers, Islamic education for our Muslim pupils and Social Studies and Moral Education are all a part of our core curriculum.

These subjects will be taught as directed by the Ministry of Education and our pupils will follow the Ministry approved syllabus in each component. We believe high quality teaching results in the best learning outcomes for our pupils and we are determined that these subjects will be taught to the highest standards encouraging learning and enjoyment and a pride in Emirati roots and culture.

Arabic Language

From a young age, or pupils develop their native language skills through Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing, and Grammar. Pupils in the Primary School and KS3 will have specialist Arabic lessons four times in a week. The teaching of Arabic to non-native speakers is most important.
The curriculum teaches Arabic by implementing the best practices associated with the teaching of modern foreign Languages. Our pupils will learn Arabic through the development of four skills: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing.
