Program Structure
The Primary Years Program (PYP) is designed for students aged 3 to 12, focusing on inquiry-based learning and nurturing independent, lifelong learners. At this stage, students explore key concepts through transdisciplinary themes, allowing them to develop critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills. Learning is active and hands-on, and students often present their understanding through projects, exhibitions, and co-curricular activities, encouraging both creativity and teamwork.
The Middle Years Program (MYP) serves students aged 12 to 16, offering a challenging academic framework that bridges classroom learning with real-world applications. The program promotes intellectual curiosity, global awareness, and personal development. Students explore a broad range of subjects including language and literature, language acquisition (Arabic and English), mathematics, sciences, and individuals and societies. The MYP encourages learners to become critical thinkers, creative problem-solvers, and effective communicators.
