SCHOOL DIVISION
The Preschool

(Pre-K, KG1 & KG2)

KG1 and KG2 Program

At the KG level, children experience a developmental curriculum, which stresses oral language development, reading
and writing readiness skills, acquisition of a positive self-image and independence of thought. KG children study
Arabic, English, Math, Science, Islamic Studies, Art, PE, and Music. All KG classrooms are equipped with IWB (Interactive
Whiteboards), document camera, and iPads to enhance children learning.

The goal for each child at the end of KG2 is to be emerging readers and writers in both English and Arabic. This prepares
children for a smooth transition into the Elementary School.
