Foundation Stage (Kg and Pre-first)
Foundations for the life-long process of education are laid down in the Primary phase. This is when a child’s interest all around him or her is most readily awakened by good teaching and intellect and mind are at their most receptive stimulus of new ideas and events.
In the Foundation Stage, from the age of 3, students' academic, physical, social, aesthetic and emotional development is encouraged within a balanced and structured approach to learning.
Play-way methods that develop their basic motor skills, phonic methods and graded writing patterns are followed for building a comprehensive foundation. Click here to view Phonic methods for arabic language
