Curriculum

At Al Ittihad Kindergarten /International Programme, our curriculum includes religion, Arabic, English, math, science, art, reading and more. We encourage learning through phonetic recognition and writing, word building skills, reading simple sentences and early mathematics. This is based on the British Early Years Foundation Stage system and  the British National Curriculum, which we have found comparable all over the world and the Arabic is based on the Jordanian Ministry of Education benchmarks for Early Learning.

We deliver the educational skills and knowledge for easy transition to Primary school.

Extra-Curricular Activities

  • Getting your child involved in extracurricular activities can teach them time management skills and how to prioritize different commitments. Learning these skills will be useful for the rest of their life and help with managing stress.
  • Exploring new interests is important for children to find things they are passionate about. Accomplishments with these hobbies can help build your child’s self-esteem and confidence as well.
  • Studies have shown that children involved in extracurricular activities tend to have better academics than children who spend free-time using electronics and avoiding social situations.
