Early Grade (1-3)
General Information
The effective learning program is a curriculum featuring Dar Al Fikr schools in early grades, and the program has many advantages, including:
Linking learning in classrooms to the needs of out-of-school life.
Teach students to acquire information by themselves, because the program allocates more time for them to work and explore themselves.
The program turns intangible into tangible so that students interact with these things to develop the skills and expertise required.
A flexible period of time depends on the skill quality and activities required.
Classes and activities within the classroom are carried out by qualified and highly experienced teachers, who are trained continuously on this curriculum, strategies, and methods of education. The work of the two groups is applied to the cumulative core subjects (Arabic, English, mathematics) to increase the share of each student’s attention and learning.
Effective learning stems from a vision that learning is a necessity, a daily and a future requirement, not a means of obtaining a passing certificate; therefore, the program makes daily learning a direct benefit to a student’s life. Life is often the same as what we teach in our schools.
We have designed the curriculum at this early stage of primary education with an effective learning approach; the need to use senses in learning all subjects, and then the abstraction journey begins gradually.
The learning method has been adopted in groups (teams); it increases the effectiveness of classroom learning, enabling the teacher to work individually with each student, listening to what he reads, and following up on his work. Also, The small number of students increases the proportion of proximity to the teacher from each of them and thus increases the opportunity for supervision, and the student’s opportunity to understand and interact.
Class Enviroment
The school environment is designed to make the students feel a sense of belonging to the place; each classroom is prepared to suit the modern educational systems and methods, which are recommended by the education scientists (students friendly classes) so that the student feels that he is in place that he likes, And social development.The classes are full of senses and means of learning because one of the conditions for teaching students at this stage is to use the senses so that the student can reach an abstract understanding.The method used in teaching is mini-groups system where students are divided into two equal groups. The learning process is based on two basic parameters so that the student can ask all his questions and each teacher can give each student his or her right to learn.
Characterization of Subjects
Evaluation and Reports
Schools adopt a continuous assessment system based on the educational vision, which emphasizes that the evaluation process is a process of learning, not separate from it.
Schools have therefore made sure that the assessment systems are diverse.
Performance indicators
The scores are translated into performance indicators (1 – 2 – 3 – 4) by skill, which means the following:

Converting performance indicators to percentages
Each discipline has a set of skills that vary for each semester and these are evaluated on the basis of the above performance indicators.
