Eastwood College

[EduCativ]

Eastwood College was founded in 1973 with the vision to provide an equitable educational community for all learners. Since its foundation, Eastwood College has kept abreast with best pedagogical practices. A holistic approach to education distinguishes us from other schools our focus is on the social, emotional, and academic nurturing of our learners.
Our goal to recruit a highly qualified, diverse teaching workforce supports the effort to maintain internationally recognized standards in curriculum and teaching. Small class sizes ensure that students with distinct educational competencies’ and backgrounds receive the individual attention and care they require.
The school’s curriculum is based on the active construction of meaning through rigorous coursework that is intellectually challenging and culturally appropriate. Students explore topics in-depth through a method of inquiry, which allows them to ask and tackle meaningful questions.
There is great attention to social interactions within the curriculum, such as conversations, discussions, joint work, and debate. Such interactions provide opportunities for students to learn through observing the performance of others, receiving feedback about their performance, hearing alternative points of view, and engaging in the exchange of ideas.
Eastwood College commits to positively impacting the world by teaching students to be driven by a balance of mind, body, and soul, and to couple knowledge with compassion, ambition with integrity, and achievement with service. Eastwood College strives to be a leading educational community in the Middle East for students of all nationalities and religions.
The success of our vision depends on the commitment of all members of the school community to take an active part in its effort to provide an instructional system that conforms to the high standards of international education. Eastwood College is committed to a program of continuous improvement and development.
High School is designed to provide ample opportunity for students to develop the talents and interests of which they are aware and to discover and develop previously unrecognized ones. Our graduation requirements are designed to ensure that each Eastwood College graduate is well prepared both for college and for a lifetime of service and learning. They reflect our belief that students become creative, reflective, open, disciplined, productive, compassionate, and passionate adults by engaging in a broad range of learning opportunities, both in and out of the classroom.
The International Baccalaureate Programme (IB) is a course of study designed to meet the educational requirements of students aged between 16 and 18 years. The IB Diploma Programme (DP) is a well-rounded, rigorous course of study, devised to develop students with skills for the 21st Century, who are informed, global citizens. It aims to help students to develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills they need to participate actively and responsibly in a changing and increasingly interrelated world.

The program includes learning outside the classroom through the extended essay and the community, and independent learning through research. Eastwood College received its IB Authorization in early 2018 and has started accepting students for the IBDP1 class starting in the 2018-2019 academic year.
