Al Nibras International Bilingual School (NIS) PE Department always tries to promote lifetime values, which are related to physical education and health-related subjects. During the PE lessons, our students obtain not only valuable physical skills and lifetime knowledge concerning the healthy lifestyle but also leadership skills needed for a lifetime.

The PE Department provides the opportunity to our students to master their skills via different curriculum sports activities such as volleyball, basketball, handball, Padel, field hockey, swimming, Track & Field, and so on. Those activities vary according to the students’ level of performance and are age-appropriate.

During the academic year, we organize multiple sports events, such as in school competitions, NIS Sports Day and fathers vs. sons football matches that are accompanied by the team’s trophies. Individual medals are granted to the best-performing students.

GENIUS MAP PROGRAM

NIS is applying Genius Map, which is a special mathematics program, based on the use of Soroban or Abacus, an ancient mathematical tool used for calculating basic number operations.

Genius Map aims to develop an ability to master the skills of solving problems mentally, to improve children’s memory, concentration, judgment, observation, imaginative and critical thinking, logical and analytical reasoning ability and time management skills. In addition, it aims to build self-confidence and to improve discipline while teaching learners speed and accuracy. Most of all, it serves as a venue for more opportunities to think, share and have fun while learning. All these abilities and skills help the learners improve their overall academic achievements.

INTERVENTION DEPARTMENT

ADDITIONAL ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES

NIS has an Intervention Department that is able to provide special academic and therapeutic services for students who have a diagnosed need, such as a learning or physical difficulty. NIS students who are diagnosed with learning difficulties are eligible to receive academic and therapeutic support services from the Intervention Department. A team of highly trained Intervention Specialists will provide additional academic support services in the areas of Arabic, English, Math, Speech and Language Therapy, and Occupational Therapy. In this context, the Individual Education Plan (IEP) is developed and adjusted to address students’ particular needs & goals.

ADDITIONAL ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES

At NIS, we are great advocates of early intervention. We believe that early intervention may have its strongest impact when offered during the first few years of life to prepare a child for adult life. Early intervention means identifying and providing effective early support to children and young people who are at risk of poor outcomes. Early intervention works to reduce the risk factors and increase the protective factors in a child’s life. Effective early intervention works to prevent problems occurring, or to tackle them head-on when they do before problems get worse. It also helps to foster a whole set of personal strengths and skills.

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATH (S.T.E.M.)

S.T.E.M. Education: Students are engaged in learning experiences that enable them to use their creativity, problem solving, critical thinking and logical reasoning to achieve the 21st century skills to become effective learners, collaborators, communicators, and creators.
