As the students transition from the Primary phase to the Middle School phase, the concentric
circles of their knowledge, skills, and understanding begin to widen. Students are empowered to
explore the attitudes, values, and habits of mind to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and
responsible global citizens. Middle School is a time of developing independence in making decisions about their own learning and is ensured through:
The Middle School phase has English as first language, Arabic as Ministry subject, and choices for the second language between French/Hindi/ Malayalam/Tamil/Urdu; Social studies, MSCs, Value education, Islamic studies, Computer Science, Visual arts, performing arts such as Dance and Music and Physical education.
Effective collaboration where students become more aware of their role in groups, valuing
others’ choices and recognizing the strengths of one another. Strong communication skills to express, connect and lead. Critical thinking to problem solve, innovate, and enterprise.
