Course of Study

At the elementary level, we follow an American curriculum approved by the State of California, based on the Common Core Standards (CCSS) for English and Mathematics, along with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for science.

We also adopt the creative curriculum "Think with Anous", which develops the student's personality, builds moral and creative values ​​in him, and enhances his national identity and Arabic language.

The curriculum has been planned to ensure that students are prepared for success in the following levels of primary school, in a way that develops higher-order thinking skills, arithmetic, creativity, innovation, strong personality, life skills and adaptability, and presentation and speech skills to enhance self-confidence

In Al Mawakeb International Schools, we are keen to constantly update the curricula, so that our students keep pace with the requirements of the era of technological development, as well as develop their skills and achieve their effective participation in society.

Subjects

Elementary school subjects, in digital books from HMH (McGraw-Hill), Savvas Learning, and Pearson, that focus on learning STEAM subjects, science, technology, engineering, art and math, as well as applied technology and robotics.

We have been keen to select literary and human subjects from the best Arabic and Turkish curricula, with the adoption of a special curriculum for religious education in both Arabic and English.

As for the English language subject in the primary grades, it contains a different set of activities. Education technology includes abilities and skills, education based on practical application and not indoctrination, with activating language production skills through speaking and writing, refining comprehension skills and extracting meaning through listening and reading.

Where languages ​​are taught in Al Mawakeb International Schools in Istanbul on 4 axes, they are:

1. The science of building words and sentences

3. Pronunciation
4. Conversatio

Teaching Arabic is according to the level of the students. As we have two main levels for teaching the language of Dhad; The first is for Arabic-speaking students, in which they study a curriculum that focuses on writing skills, grammar, and advanced language levels.

As for the second level of learning the Arabic language, it is intended for non-native students, and it relies on a special curriculum that focuses on basic language skills, and the language used in daily dealings, and develops gradually until it reaches advanced levels, similar to what happens in the Turkish language subject, where the focus is Conversation and reading skills to help integrate into society and build useful and effective dialogue in different daily life situations

Extracurricular activities at the elementary level

In addition to paying attention to the academic aspect within the classroom environment, we - as mentioned above - focus on developing creativity and innovation in the student, and helping him to advance and refine his talents, by unleashing his abilities through extra-curricular activities, such as trips, physical activities, arts and sculpture projects, and project completion. Within the team by developing teamwork skills

The teacher in the classroom is the leader and guide; Where his role lies in directing and providing guidance when needed, in addition to preparing and supervising extra-curricular plans and activities, while leaving students to learn, search for information, and test hypotheses to reach results, relying on themselves.
