GIPA presently operates an AMERICAN CURRICULUM from Kindergarten to Grade 12 that is aligned with the Common Core Curriculum Standards of the USA as guidelines to what every student should know and be able to do from kindergarten to grade 12.

OUR CURRICULUM:

We prepares students for college, career, and life. We place a lot of importance on co-curricular activities and hands-on experiences in addition to theoretical learning to ensure a balanced development of students. Our curriculum is developmentally and culturally appropriate. It is designed to offer every student exposure to a full range of subjects like English language arts and reading, math, science, health, information technology, French, social studies, physical education, arts and music in addition to Arabic language for native and non-native speakers and Islamic studies so that young learners have access to all areas of knowledge and they can begin to develop their passions. In the high school, options expand further still to include more business studies, sciences and design technology.

ASSESSMENT:

At GIPA we follow a continuous assessment model where there is a strong focus on formative, performance-based assessment like projects, essays, presentations, speeches, research papers, models, and such. In addition, we are currently using a number of standardized assessments like SAT, TOEFL, YLE, IELTS, and MAP exams to evaluate students’ performance in relation to the international norms.
