In Grades 1 to 5, our curriculum is designed to meet the high standards set by the Common Core, Middle States Accreditation, and the Ministry of Education, ensuring a well-rounded education that prepares students for success in an ever-changing world.
We integrate a variety of American curricula with the Ministry of Education curricula to create a robust learning experience that combines the best practices from both systems. By doing so, we ensure that our students receive an education that meets international standards while honoring the cultural context of Kurdistan.
A key focus of our curriculum is on adhering to the Common Core standards, which provide a clear and consistent framework for academic excellence across various subject areas. These standards lay the foundation for the development of critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and effective communication. In line with the American education system, we place a heavy emphasis on writing. Starting from Grade 1, students build upon the foundation of reading and writing skills acquired in kindergarten, further developing their abilities in these areas. By the end of Grade 2, students are empowered to take ownership of their progress in reading and writing, demonstrating increasing proficiency and independence.
Our dedicated educators guide students through a comprehensive curriculum that encompasses core subjects such as Literacy, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Additionally, we provide a well-rounded education by incorporating other essential disciplines such as Physical Education, Arts, and Foreign Languages.
Through a student-centered approach, we foster an engaging and supportive learning environment that encourages active participation, critical thinking, and collaboration. Our educators employ a variety of instructional strategies and resources to cater to diverse learning styles and ensure meaningful learning experiences for all students.
At the American International School of Duhok, we believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals who are not only academically proficient but also possess strong character, global awareness, and a sense of responsibility to their community. Our curriculum is designed to develop students’ intellectual, social, and emotional capacities, preparing them to become confident and compassionate leaders of tomorrow.
