National Elementary Section Director
We believe that the foundation years are crucial for developing a well-rounded student. To achieve this, we offer a dynamic learning environment that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and 21st-century skills. Our dedicated teachers are passionate about education and use innovative teaching methods to support each student's individual needs and interests. We also leverage modern technology to create an engaging and interactive learning experience.
We believe that a strong partnership between school, family, and community is essential for a child's success. That's why we prioritize open communication and collaborative activities with parents. We regularly host parent-teacher conferences, workshops, and events to keep parents informed about their child's progress and to involve them in the educational process. We also encourage parents to participate in our school's volunteer programs and to support their child's learning at home.
ADS in the primary section adopt curricula approved by the Ministry of Education for subjects such as Arabic, Mathematics, Science, Islamic Education, and Social Studies, in addition to their curricula that enhance students' skills and knowledge in various ways (Computer, Science, Math). The adopted curriculum for English is the British Oxford series, as it encompasses all the essential skills of the English language: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. This curriculum opens new horizons for students and enhances their communicative and cultural abilities, while also strengthening their linguistic and intellectual skills.
ADS teaches Art Education and Physical Education, which help develop creativity and critical thinking, and promote students' physical and mental health. These subjects also teach the importance of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance, contributing to the comprehensive development of students' personalities.
ADS are committed to teaching the Quran and values to help strengthen the Islamic identity of students, which enhances their affiliation with their religion and culture, increases their understanding of Islamic teachings, and contributes to building a community characterized by mutual respect, justice, equality, and compassion.
We work on integrating technology into the educational learning process and applying modern teaching strategies during classroom sessions, which encourage learning through play and exploration, thereby enhancing children's love for learning and curiosity. This includes transferring knowledge and skills to practical life through activities such as drama, educational games, and simulations.
We also do not overlook the importance of annual school competitions, as they play a significant role in promoting comprehensive education and building self-confidence by experiencing successes, achieving goals, and dealing with successes and failures constructively.
The primary section focuses on continuous communication with parents throughout the school year, conveying their children's strengths and weaknesses to work on improving and developing them, and raising the students' overall level.
