In the Primary School section at the International Independent Schools, Khalda Branch

In the Primary School section at the International Independent Schools, Khalda Branch, our goals are to educate, inspire, and motivate. We believe that we make a difference by positively impacting the lives of our students. The primary school is a vital step in preparing students for future learning and life in general. In our primary section, we believe that children are naturally curious and eager to explore the world around them. Therefore, we focus on nurturing their growth in areas such as relationships, identity, emotional skills, personality, and overall well-being.

We guide our students to understand their religion and explore different types of texts in both Arabic and English. They also learn the fundamental concepts of science and mathematics and gain a basic understanding of social studies.

The primary section serves students from grades 1 to 6, offering two distinct programs: the national program and the international program.

We believe that the quality of education our students receive in primary school will greatly influence their future. Therefore, we emphasize the holistic development of each child to become an effective leader capable of making a positive impact on society. We follow the American curriculum, building our program on the Common Core Standards for English and Mathematics, along with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). This prepares our students for success in external exams such as ACT, SAT, and AP.

We align our curriculum with the learning expectations of the Independent Schools, integrating our school’s vision and mission. We work hard to incorporate various activities within our curriculum, giving our students the chance to enjoy learning and view it as valuable, turning them into lifelong learners who are responsible, talented, and skilled in problem-solving.
