New international bilingual school to open in Jeddah
JEDDAH, March 17, 2016
Madares Al Tafawoq Al Marefi Al Ahliya is set to launch Nün Academy, a new private international bilingual school, in Jeddah.
Nün Academy will teach according to a proven and successful method for personalised learning, the KED Program, that puts the student at the centre of all activities in the school, said a statement.
It will challenge its students to reach their full potential, prepare them for the best universities in the world, yet still have them grounded in their religious, linguistic and cultural heritage, it said.
The academy will open in September with early years 1-2 and years 1-2, according to the international IGCSE Cambridge curriculum.
Through its collaboration with the Swedish Kunskapsskolan Education Group (KED), the school will be able to provide personalised learning, which puts the student at the centre of all activities in the school.
Meanwhile, the curriculum of the school has been developed based on the international IGCSE Cambridge curriculum and rigorously adapted to ensure Arabic fluency and conformity with Saudi Ministry Guidelines for Saudi International schools.
It will start as a predominantly Arabic Curriculum in pre-school and lower primary levels combined with English language training.
Gradually, content and teaching will be increasingly in English, with the objective to reach international test and exam requirements and hence providing the student with a sound basis for successful international college studies.
The academy will also prepare the students for a globalised world by grounding them locally while exposing them globally. - TradeArabia News Service
