Co-curricular Learning Aligned with Academic Excellence
At our school, co-curricular activities are thoughtfully designed to extend and reinforce academic learning, not distract from it. Students participate in a wide range of activities that strengthen critical thinking, communication, creativity, collaboration, and leadership skills, all of which directly support classroom learning and academic success.
Through a diverse and engaging range of co-curricular activities, we empower students to discover their passions, develop leadership skills, and think creatively. From Student Council and leadership programmes to academic enrichment initiatives, clubs, debates, research projects, and hands-on STEM activities, students are encouraged to explore, innovate, and excel. Signature events such as Market Day, International Cultural Day, participation in the Muscat Primary Sports League, and a vibrant arts programme further enrich the student experience. These opportunities enable students to apply learning in real-world contexts, build confidence, and develop the well-rounded skills needed for future success.
Assessment and Academic Progress
Assessment at our school is an integral part of the teaching and learning process and is designed to support progress, understanding, and academic growth. We follow a balanced approach that includes continuous assessment, formative assessments, and summative assessments, enabling teachers to monitor student learning regularly and provide timely, meaningful feedback. This ongoing assessment helps identify strengths, address learning gaps, and guide instructional planning. In addition to continuous classroom assessments, students undertake end of term assessments to evaluate their understanding of key concepts and skills.
At key stages, students are prepared for Cambridge Checkpoint assessments (Grade 6 & 8) and Cambridge IGCSE (Grade 10) examinations, which provide internationally benchmarked measures of academic achievement. Together, these assessment practices ensure that students are well supported, appropriately challenged, and progressively prepared for higher levels of learning and academic success.
