Academics: Academics: We are moving forward with the reaffirmed vision of “nurturing our young people to be achievers of extraordinary determination, who set right goals in areas of education, morality, attitude, and ethics and values." This year we embarked with measuring of students learning outcomes in relation to Student Competence framework that extends the tradition and strengths of the school and that responds to needs of integrating competences and values into our teaching and learning. Our school curriculum has undergone a number of developments for the upcoming academic year such as introducing new options subjects for IGCSE and AS Levels. This is aimed at providing a holistic curriculum of secondary education to meet the needs of the future. From September, digital resources will be used in all core subjects.

Special groupings have been employed in Languages, Mathematics and other subject areas to cater for the full range of student needs and many teachers have used their spare time to organize make-up lessons and CARE sessions to take care of individual learning needs. We extend our appreciation to each one for their professional dedication. In view of the increasing number of students with special educational needs (SEN), a SEN team has been formed this school year and a SEN Coordinator – Ms. Amel Benkohila has been appointed to cater to the needs of these students.
