International Groups Programme

Our school is characterized by establishing an International Groups Programme as early as 1989. This program has catered for students who come from abroad and whose language kills either in English or Arabic need further reinforcement, so that within one or two years they will be able to join their regular classes according to their age group. In fact our school applies the multi-level approach which screens students according to their linguistic abilities and provides them with the relevant type of education according to their needs.
 

The IGCSE, GCE Programme

The University of Cambridge and the University of London supervise this porgramme. It is comprised of various academic disciplines at the ‘O’ Level. As from next year, the school intends to apply a preparatory program called the Pre-IG Programme, which will encompass students from grade 7 onward.

The school has already embarked on offering a two- year course in addition to the one- year course. Both courses include a wide range of options.

Foundation Year

Learning Disability and Dyslexia Centre

The Centre deals with normal students in regular classrooms who experience learning difficulties, regardless of their average lntelligence Quotients, that impede their academic achievement, due to causes intrinsic to the individual student. Students who suffer from such difficulties are characterized by one or more of the following:
Visual or auditory perceptual dysfunction, impulsive actions, memory disorder, distractibility, hyperactivity, emotional liability, language problems, poor eye-hand coordination and sometimes self-neurological signs.
These characteristics are identified and diagnosed by experienced professionals through comprehensive assessment procedures by applying formal and informal tools.  Thereafter, intervention programs are applied using relevant teaching methods and learning strategies that would fit the student’s strengths and cope with their weaknesses. Hence, alleviating the students’ suffering ; improving their academic achievement; raising their self-esteem and reinforcing their social interaction. Ultimately, the aim of the educational process is to create an independent learner.
Speech therapy is now being offered at our section by language speech therapists to help our students overcome language and speech disorder such as stuttering that might hinder verbal communication.The remedial session aim at improving receptive and expressive language and also deal with aphasia.
