Welcome to the new school year! You will notice many changes this year: improvements to campus, new faculty members, new programs, etc. We have introduced differentiated pathways in the high school curriculum. We have significantly increased our university preparatory offerings with full time Takviye Course teachers and TYT-AYT electives. We have expanded our pastoral care initiatives with homeroom in the mornings. We have initiated English pull out programs across a number of grades. There are so many positive improvements to our school this year… which has invariably meant change. And change means disruption to routines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Change is typically uncomfortable but in order to raise the bar of what we are doing as a school, change is necessary. We thank our community for their patience during this time of growth and we are confident that the forward-thinking changes will help us realize the school’s vision.<\/span><\/p>\n

STRONG FACULTY<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
