This sense of wonder and curiosity to discover and learn about our universe, not just that of atoms, stars, and galaxies but also that of the living, of the mind, and the complex social, economic, and political structures we have created unwittingly, this sense led Newton to realize, and he, in turn, taught us to see that all systems and structures are governed not by whimsical supernatural forces that are beyond our minds and out of our control but by rules and laws that can be discovered and used to create technologies.
This sense is what we, the founders, have always dreamt of encouraging in all children. We, therefore, thought of establishing schools that will nurture it. But we needed a curriculum that is exciting and promotes a life-long love for learning. This curriculum should also be dynamic in its response to the never-ending changes in the world and our perception of it.
We believe we have found what we were looking for it is the National Curriculum of England and Wales (NCEW) which is popularly known as the British Curriculum! It is one of the best available in the world that is capable of imparting to our students the quality of learning and skills they need to transform our world, not just for the short-sighted good of themselves but for the sustainable good of the whole Earth.
We have adopted the British Curriculum, not by default of having a school that should follow a particular curriculum the contrary is the truth. We have established our first school to actualize, to the best of our abilities, the British Curriculum! We believe that such a curriculum, when applied with dedication and creativity, gives a child one of his/her best chances to develop into a well-rounded free human being, who will be best equipped to live and flourish in our modern world.
We believe that education is one of man's greatest transformative powers that needs to be honed and improved all the time. At our schools, we strive to improve continuously. This has earned the trust of many parents living in Qatar and made us grow in twelve years from a humble beginning of a small school in two villas with about 200 students in 2006 to nine campuses with a family of around 10,000 students in 2018.
Our last words are to parents. No one is more eager and passionate about your child's education than you. We, therefore, invite you to help your child's school to continuously improve by being engaged and active with your feedback through the many channels that are made available, be it the Parents & Teachers Association (PTA), the Parents Affairs Officer (PAO) or the teachers themselves who are always available to parents to eagerly discuss their concerns.
Newton International School West Bay is now the school of choice for hundreds of families. Why is that? It is because NIS West Bay has pride in presenting an encompassing learning environment that is coupled with a warm, friendly family atmosphere. The staff at the school are committed to creating the best possible learning opportunities for all of our students. That’s what makes NIS West Bay special!
Our program is challenging but balanced within a safe, nurturing environment. We aim to extend the knowledge of our students, develop their skills, to make them passionate about learning for now and into the future. Our staff is also committed to ensuring each student becomes confident in an immersion English language environment. That is why we are special! But learning is only achieved because the teaching team at West Bay has high expectations of the students’ behavior. This comes from the core values of responsibility, the pursuit of excellence, social justice, respect, and cooperation. We want our students to enjoy school. We also want them to feel excited about their learning and to know that their aspirations and hopes are dear to the hearts of their teachers. But this can only happen in a disciplined environment. That’s why West Bay has dedicated classroom reward programs for good behavior plus playground positive “Posi” awards for encouraging our students to care for the school.
We aim to provide the highest quality of education possible for students of all abilities. In doing so, we aim to positively encourage each student to achieve academic excellence, enjoy creative diversity, develop critical thinking skills and become lifelong learners and responsible citizens.
To achieve this, we will provide a diverse education in a safe, supportive environment that promotes self-discipline and motivation. We will provide and maintain a calm, trusting, and caring atmosphere where teaching and learning are meaningful and developed. We will work in partnership with our staff, students, parents, and the wider community to achieve our vision.
