GES School Curriculum

A recent addition has been the completion of GES as an English Curriculum School with the adoption of the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum for our Foundation Stage. KG children have shown spectacular progress in reading and writing as we place greater focus on the development on the basic skills of Literacy and Numeracy. This ensures a smooth transition from KG2 to Year 1.

GES introduces Arabic and Islamic studies in the Foundation Stage so that all students have access to both the English Curriculum and the Ministry of Education Curriculum from KG1 to Year 12.

National Curriculum of England aligned with the Cambridge International curriculum (CIPP and Cambridge Checkpoint) is practiced in Years 1 to 8.

We have introduced Continuous Assessment that is closely linked with the National Curriculum of England (Years KG-8) and the Cambridge IGCSE/AS/A levels. Carefully developed Rubrics (assessment guides) that are closely linked with Learning Outcomes in the National Curriculum of England are used to guide the students.

International benchmarking is introduced to ensure that educational standards are reflected in student achievement.

Students progress to Cambridge IGCSE at Year 9 and appear for Cambridge International Examinations at the end of Year 10. Cambridge AS and A level qualifications are offered at Year 11 and 12 respectively. Currently we offer a Business Stream and a Science Stream. We are in the process of expanding the choice for students, giving them a broader education. Some of the possibilities are environmental education, travel and tourism, media and technology.
