Hayat Universal School

Welcome to Qatar’s own Hayat Universal School (HUBS). It is our pleasure to welcome you. We have high expectations for the success of HUBS and the future of your children’s education.

HUBS is a PreKG-12 school. After the successful start of HUBS School in Kuwait in September 2007 and our beginning in Qatar with PreK, KG1, KG2 and grades 1-3 in September 2009, last year, we graduated our first cohort, a milestone that everyone in our school community should be proud of.

We implement the prestigious British Columbia Ministry of Education Program and the Qatar National curriculum for Arabic, Qatar History and Islamic Education. The learning objectives ensure that our students develop their academic skills as well as their character to become competent, responsible global Muslims. Our well-trained and caring team of teachers will ensure your child is stimulated to take an active role in learning and is continuously supported to succeed.

A HUBS graduating student receives the internationally recognized British Columbia, Canadian Dogwood Certificate. This graduating certificate provides opportunity for that student to attend the finest postsecondary education institutions in the world.

Our Vision is A Generation Comitted to the Art of Life Management.

Our Mission At Al Hayat Universal Bilingual School, we provide, a high quality bilingual North American education, that integrates core subjects and life skills, the application of knowledge blended with cultural identity and openness; all interweaved to develop a well-rounded individual and a lifelong learner prepared for the challenging future.

We believe that

• All students can learn in a caring and stimulating environment that recognizes and addresses their individual differences, talents and learning styles.
• Learning is meaningful when it is applied to real life situations, when students make meaning not just receive it–through individual and group work- and when thematic instruction is used to integrate the different subjects as well as life skills throughout the school day.
• It is our duty to empower students to succeed in our globalized and complex age by refining their qualities of.
  • moderation and rationalization.
  • respect and appreciation of universal values and cultural diversity.
  • sound understanding, and love for our Islamic religion.
  • communication proficiency in Arabic and English, and leadership, life planning, teamwork, problem solving and decision making.
• Parents have a critical influence on the achievement of their children and they are our partners who we engage throughout the education process.

We aim to develop the whole individual integrating academic and life skills to enable our students to excel in an increasingly competitive world and to be effective members and leaders in their communities. Our approach for character development recognizes that values, life skills and subject related skills need to be used concurrently, in order to become part of the internal make up of students to the point that they can apply them in different situations and scenarios in life.

Values that we aim to develop are respect, honesty, empathy, fairness, caring, responsibility for self and others, citizenship, cultural identity, openness to other cultures and rationalization. Life skills include critical thinking and decision making, interpersonal communication, managing self and healthy relationships, maintaining a healthy life style, cooperation and team work.

All the subjects deal with character and life skill development but specifically, Health and Career Planning, Social Studies and Islamic Education highlight these areas. Our teaching methods are instrumental and the overall school environment provides the required role model.

HUBS is a community of qualified and dedicated teachers and educators. We make use of the best of education theories, teaching practices and experience to make sure our students are stimulated and supported in a caring environment that protects and nurtures their bodies, minds and souls.
