Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is it a mixed school?
A: yes, all classes and activities are for both boys and girls.
Q: What is the language of instruction at the Elementary section?
A: There are two tracks, an Arabic language track and an English language track. At the English language track, the language of instruction is English, with Arabic taught at various levels. All students also learn French or Spanish as a third language.
Q: Will students at the Arabic language track be ready to move to learn in English after Grade 5?
A: Yes. The decision made to implement the IB in Arabic is based on many scientific facts. Many linguists emphasize the importance for students to master their first language to learn other languages and develop their personal skills. Thus, we believe that our students at AIA will achieve proficiency in English language skills. Research has also shown that using the first language as the language of instruction helps students to acquire in-depth scientific skills and knowledge, as well as improving their ability to relate this to local and global issues. Students in the Arabic language track learn English at an advanced level, so by the time they reach grade 6, they will have a solid foundation in the English language.
