Curriculum

Awsaj Academy follows the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC).
It is a comprehensive, thematic, creative curriculum, with a clear process of learning and specific learning goals for every subject. It also develops international mindedness and encourages personal learning and is adapted to individual children’s needs.
Children learn best when they want to learn. This is why all of the IPC's thematic units of learning are designed to appeal to children’s interests and help them to learn more about the world around them.
Themed units help children to see how subjects are both independent and interdependent. This enables them to see the big picture of their learning, make connections across different subjects, and talk about a topic from multiple perspectives.
Subject goals cover the knowledge, skills and understanding of children relating to the subjects they are learning. There are subject learning goals for Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, ICT & Computing, Technology, History, Geography, Music, Physical Education, Art and Society.

 

Assessment

At Awsaj, we believe that differentiating between knowledge, skills and understanding is crucial to the development of children’s learning. Skills are assessed through a balance of formative and summative assessments. They need time, practice, and a consistent and simple process to support both teachers and learners. Teachers assess children in all subject areas including; Language Arts in both English and Arabic, Mathematics, Art, Social Studies, Music, Physical Education, Science, Technology and International learning goals.
Students who have difficulties in their learning or who have additional needs are provided with tailored individual support and/or Individual Education Plans. Teachers meet with parents and other services to ensure your child is receiving the required support that necessary for your child to be successful at school.
