WHERE THE ACADEMIC JOURNEY BEGINS!
LEARNING FOR EVERYONE
At Al Nayfa Charter KG, our teaching philosophy is built on a strong base of essential physical, cognitive, social and emotional development. We provide a hands-on, play-based learning environment with cross-curricular learning opportunities. The role of the adult and the environment are carefully planned to support a richly bilingual, multi-sensory, stimulating learning experience that caters to the different development needs of each of our diverse learners.
At Al Nayfa Charter KG, we aim to inspire our students and staff to explore, identify, and develop their passions and talents by encouraging risk taking, fostering resilience, confidence, and a deep love of learning.
We firmly believe that trust, respect, high levels of wellbeing, and a sense of belonging and pride among all stakeholders in our school community are key factors to fulfilling our educational strategy.
Our principles are: professional, spirited, pioneering and nurturing.
We encourage students and all stakeholders to be kind, caring and supportive to one and another. Being a good citizen and behaving positively is best taught through adult role models, who demonstrate correct behavior, as well as continuously encourage and remind students of living it.
At Al Nayfa Charter KG, teaching the Arabic language through a bilingual model is one of our priorities. This includes teaching the language of the Holy Quran - an important influence for our society’s mind, morals, identity and religion.
To teach the Arabic language in fun and interesting ways, we have created an audio curriculum that suits kindergarten students, aligning with their interests and tendencies. The program uses familiar and illustrated stories to help them become fluent readers step by step.
We also teach other subjects communicating information in both Arabic and English. This contributes to raising a generation of students who aware of their heritage but also globally educated.
At Al Nayfa Charter KG, we believe the greatest gift we can give our students is a love for reading. When we read, we always have somewhere to go, with our imagination taking us anywhere.
Our students read because they are interested in the variety of book genres we provide, and because they love to learn about new places and people. Students can read anywhere, and books can be a part of most experiences.
As well as developing literacy skills, our reading program supports our students to become better communicators and writers. At our school, we have incorporated books into most learning areas of the classrooms.
We are also proud of our many reading events and initiatives this year, such as our daily “Drop Everything And Read” (DEAR) time, our “Author’s Chair” where our students’ read their own stories out loud and our “Talk for Writing”, where children imitate books orally. Each year, we also have a book week and a book fair.
To support the holistic development of the child, we regularly organize events that bring parents, teachers and students together. Our events are positively impacting the trust and commitment between all members of the school community, providing a richer experience for the students.
Amongst others, our school events include Islamic Art Day, Friendship, Kindness and Tolerance Day, Environment Green Day, Healthy Eating and Sports Week, Celebrations of Learning, and 100 Days of School.
