Alrowad British Pvt. School

We do believe that Al Rowad is a school of opportunities; a place where children are challenged to become their best, to discover new talents and interests and to develop a global outlook, within a safe and nurturing community The early year program at A Rowad British Private School provides 4-5-year-olds with a firm foundation on which to build a successful education. Our teachers deliver an exciting, play–based curriculum within a happy and vibrant community. We aim to provide our youngest pupils with preparation for learning that will build their confidence, introduce them to new experiences and give them the freedom to grow into socially prepared young people. We offer children a rich learning experience that enables them to develop a positive attitude toward themselves, their peers, and the school. Instruction in kindergarten is focused on developing foundational skills that prepare students for later learning in all content areas, including English language arts. Students who learn to read in kindergarten through grade three will be able to read to learn in later grades. A primary focus of language arts instruction in kindergarten is helping students make sense of the alphabet and its role in reading. It is critical that students develop phonological awareness so they can move on to decoding words; yet make sense of the reading in kindergarten is not merely decoding words.

In kindergarten, students learn beginning skills to comprehend and analyze what they are reading. Students begin to develop writing skills by using a combination of drawing, dictation, and writing to express opinions, relate an event, or provide information. Kindergarten students develop skills in speaking and listening through discussions with peers and adults. In both writing and speaking, students learn the conventions of English. Students also have to understand and use academic language to succeed in school. Academic language refers to the language of literacy and books, tests, and formal writing. It can be words or phrases that apply to specific content areas or that are used to express abstract concepts or feelings. Students learn academic language in context while reading, writing, listening, and engaging in discussions about books and grade-level topics.

The primary school aims to deliver a stimulating, broad and balanced curriculum within a positive and caring community where each child is valued. Children are encouraged to become confident independent thinkers who behave responsibly and courteously. Our dedicated teams of teaching staff provide pupils with the opportunity to develop a variety of skills, thus facilitating the fulfillment of their potential in academic and sporting capacities, specialist teaching and exciting experiences across the curriculum. These elements together create an inspiring atmosphere of motivation, energy, and success. A successful curriculum is the key to any child’s accelerated learning and progress. In addition, it enhances the children’s enjoyment and valuing of education. It leads to the child’s independent ability as a life-long learner and encourages participation in further and higher education. With this in mind, we strive to provide a curriculum that motivates and challenges every pupil to achieve their best learning. We aim to provide a curriculum through which children look forward to coming to school every day and going home, telling of their experiences and learning. Throughout the year we will be following the recommendations of the current English National Curriculum.
