What curriculum does Academyati follow?

There is no set curriculum at Academyati. Instead, we offer a personalized learning journey that caters for each child’s needs and interests. We do not limit children’s knowledge to a standard curriculum, rather we keep their horizons open for exploration and questioning. As core skills of literacy and numeracy are an important element for the overall learning, Academyati uses a progression scale/ continuum for the core skills of Arabic and English literacy, and numeracy. Free play is also a main vehicle for learning, especially in the younger years, and we use additional instruments to foster learners’ agency in learning. This includes projects/quests, activities, field trips and more. Quests/projects for example are key in our learners’ self-led discovery every day at the school. Quests/projects could be planned or improvised. Planned quests/projects come from the teachers as a result of their observations and knowledge of our learners’ interests. Spontaneous quests/projects are created in the moment, following a child’s sparked interest in a topic or a thing using the rich and diverse resources and expertise available in the school.
