JPGS brings children together from many nations to learn and grow together. Our experienced and fully qualified staff of local and expatriate teachers are dedicated to providing children with the very best that international education has to offer. We wish to stand proud as a beacon of academic excellence the life lessons of lasting impact and great worth: self-discipline, the integrity of character, care for others, and a sense of values permeate every aspect of your child’s time here. Education does not only take place in the classroom but on the sports pitch, performing on stage or exploring in the field, and so all students at JPGS are encouraged to take risks, develop existing interests and try new ones via participation in our enrichment program. These elements combine to provide our pupils with the knowledge and skills to thrive in a globally mobile, competitive world. A child’s time at school must be a period of growth for each individual to explore their mind’s full potential. As the children develop, they have the chance to become an elder of the school, to mentor younger children, to put something back into the community to learn to lead. Jeddah Prep and Grammar School provides a unique educational opportunity in the most cosmopolitan city of Saudi Arabia. At the heart of the school’s ethos are the needs of the children. We cater to these needs by providing a nurturing environment providing opportunities for academic achievement and fostering individual talents and strengths. Whether living and working at home or abroad, choosing a school for your son or daughter is a most responsible task. Because our children’s education, quite rightly, will always be a priority, the choice of the ‘right’ school for them can be a complicated decision. Since it was opened in 1967, the School has established a worldwide reputation for high academic standards, incorporating the traditional values of good manners, discipline, competition, and commitment to the School. We seek to provide a stimulating environment, in which individuals will grow in confidence, skill, knowledge, and compassion and the School’s ethos is shaped by the people who teach and study here. Jeddah Prep and Grammar School seeks to attract a broad range of pupils with diverse talents and an appetite for education. When they arrive, our pupils bring much of the character of our School through the gates with them. Many of the qualities which attract parents to Jeddah Prep and Grammar School also draw men and women of great dedication and ability to teach here. Staff is encouraged to explore enthusiasms in and out of the classroom, and to develop their teaching styles within a framework of shared principles: that learning matters, that all members of the community deserve to be treated with care and respect, and that every lesson or activity is a fresh opportunity to awake interest and develop understanding. As an overseas School, we follow the National Curriculum for England and Wales up to the age of 14. From there, an International GCSE program is undertaken. Students can be offered the opportunity to pursue A-Levels courses within the School after 16. We are highly conscious of the need to ensure that our students are well prepared for eventual integration into the education systems and societies to which they will be returning. We have a great deal of experience assisting students in their continuing education to various locations throughout the world. Here at JPGS, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which are set standards for learning, development, and care for children from FS1 until the end of the FS2. This is a two-year program that starts at FS1 and ends in FS2. It aims to develop each child to their full potential by offering a ‘principled, play-based approach to learning and development’. Young children learn best through play. Our teachers at JPGS will be able to provide your child with appropriate play and learning experiences for their stage of development and help them develop new skills. The activities that are provided for young children will underpin the skills they need to work towards the Early Learning Goals at the end of their FS2 year at the school. The EYFS curriculum enables practitioners to recognize their child’s strengths and areas where they need more support to develop new skills. Our curriculum is exciting innovative stimulating cutting-edge different and blends our traditional grammar school education with unusual challenges designed to stretch even the ablest young child.

Our aim is that all our students are happy and successful in school. The Grammar School offers a comprehensive and academically rigorous British curriculum.

Teaching groups, however, comprise of students from the same year group and students in Key Stage 3 learn together mainly in their teaching group. Jeddah Prep and Grammar School offers opportunities for exceptional academic success coupled with tremendous opportunities for personal and social development. At JPGS a combination of careful planning and monitoring and excellent teaching enables students to exceed their expected “A” Level grades. The academic attainment of our students has led to a near 100% placement rate in Further or Higher Education across the world, with the vast majority of our students being offered admission in some of the top universities in the UK, USA, and Canada. The continued growth in the popularity of the “A” Level program at JPGS has meant that this year’s intake of 33 students has continued the steady increase since 2012 when we admitted 20 students Ativan for sale in Y12.

Welcome to ISG Jubail. "We inspire innovation and compassionate action". To accomplish this audacious mission, we quite literally search the globe to recruit the very best international faculty that we possibly can. We compete globally for this talent with renowned international schools situated in world centers of globalized finance, industry, and trade. We employ a progressive curriculum that asks more questions than answers. It asks students from pre-kindergarten (age 3) to Grade 12 (age 18) to construct knowledge using multiple viewpoints. In mathematics and science, students are asked to represent and articulate their thinking pictorially, diagrammatically, and graphically, as well as with words, equations, and models. In the humanities and arts, students explore and consider multiple perspectives often informed by the cultural diversity of our student body as well as that of our faculty. We explicitly value learner agency in the development of innovation over lecture, memorization, or other didactic methods of the past. As part of the International Schools Group, we enjoy access to resources and expertise that enable us to innovate and collaborate on a scale not possible in an individual school. ISG Jubail’s mission is to provide a progressive educational experience that celebrates our multicultural community of diverse learners. The ISG Jubail student is inspired to strive for academic excellence, balanced life, and service to others. Traveling a path that sets it apart from others in the region, the hallmarks of the school are a diverse educational experience coupled with a steadfast commitment to the IB Diploma Program. ISG Jubail continues to move forward by striving for growth in curriculum development and a personalized approach to learning. Led by highly qualified educators, ISG Jubail inspires students to reach their fullest potential, and aim for high achievement, driven by integrity, acceptance of others, and personal ambition. Our values of responsibility, consideration, and mutual respect prepare students for their roles as global citizens. We inspire innovation and compassionate action. An exciting new Readers and Writers Workshop has recently been introduced, and Math Practices have been enhanced by utilizing the Engage New York program. In addition, comprehensive knowledge of NGSS standards for science and the C3 Framework for Social Studies and History means that the school's faculty can creatively synthesize standards into authentic experiences for all students. This, combined with a celebration of excellence in the arts, athletics, and health/wellness, contributes to the school's programs. Complementing these elements in the equation is a strident commitment to the students’ social, emotional, and personal growth allowing for an all-encompassing education for students, their families, and ISG Jubail's staff. ISG Jubail School utilizes the AERO Common Core Plus standards (American Education Reaches Out) for a robust, standards-based education framework for language arts and social studies, with science utilizing the AERO NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) and mathematics using Common Core standards. The school also uses the Lucy Calkins Readers and Writers workshop model within the language arts program. Although the AERO Common Core Plus / AERO NGSS standards are used, the school uses the UbD (Understanding by Design) model to promote a more trans-disciplinary, authentic, and relevant approach to learning. The students work in units and learn through active inquiry, promoting critical thinking and moving from the concrete to more abstract concept development. The units are designed to stimulate and challenge students to try new roles, experiment with ideas and materials, and solve real problems. They encompass all relevant subject areas, including performing and visual arts, to help students enjoy their learning and prepare them to be successful. ISG Jubail Elementary uses Eureka Math as the core resource to support math instruction the program is intentionally aligned to Common Core standards and will support our math needs comprehensively. We believe that grades earned by students at ISG Jubail should: Reflect learning by the student. Not be used as a disciplinary measure. Be a tool for communication to parents, other teachers, and schools. Not be based solely on participation or attendance, although these issues can influence learning. Grades earned represent standards of learning and hard work. The Early Years program provides narrative assessments to describe achievement. Elementary achievement is measured against curriculum standards along a continuum of development. Middle and High School grading follows a standard American grading system utilizing lettered grades to indicate achievement (A, B, C, D, and F). Our students receive grade reports periodically throughout the semester based on their teachers' methods and course selections. Our Elementary School has two sections: Early Years and Primary School. The early Years program covers Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten 1. It is a place where strong foundations are built for a lifetime of learning. Our Early Years teachers believe it is a privilege to help open young minds and to encourage them to become explorers in ways that will set them up to be happy, enquiring students with good oral and social skills. Our lower primary program runs from KG2 to Grade 2, with our upper primary program running from Grade 3 to Grade 5. For all elementary grade levels, ISG Jubail students are active learners they analyze and question, take risks, and learn from failure in a supportive environment and are given opportunities to express themselves through writing, presentations, and discussions. Language arts, numeracy, science, art, physical education, and music are well fostered for all children. We work on building children's self-confidence and self-advocacy. As well as the core curriculum subjects, our young learners embed technology in their everyday learning and have regular visits to the school library. Experiential learning beyond the classroom through field trips keeps them engaged in learning in the wider world. Our Middle and High School divisions are diverse, yet close-knit communities. Students develop their passions, find their voices, and plan for their future throughout their secondary years. Middle School represents a transitional and transformative time in a student’s life. At the High School level, we endeavor to prepare students for the challenges they will face in higher education and an increasingly globalized world. ISG Jubail offers a broad range of exploratory and elective offerings in addition to a rigorous curriculum and academic core. Beginning in Grade 11, students may also opt to undertake the two-year International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Our academic program is as demanding as it is rewarding. Students can further extend themselves through our co-curricular program, which includes a variety of sports, fine and performing arts, clubs and service organizations, and more. We work to develop reflective, caring, and ethical individuals, capable of life-long learning with a penchant to grow and develop their understanding of the world. View full school

Almost all those who have been granted admission, irrespective of their prior record based on admission test.

Our students are multitalented and we are committed to helping them become well-rounded citizens. ISG Dammam, the International Division, is patterned after the US curriculum with the addition of a Global Languages Program, offering Arabic and French. Core courses like Language Arts, Mathematics are currently deepening their alignment with Common Core Standards and Social Studies, Science with C3 and NGSS standards. We have adopted the following standards that serve as the foundation for building our curriculum and programs. Elementary School - the heart and soul of ISG Dammam - the place where the wondrous, panoramic journey begins - the place where our youngsters take their first unsure steps towards independence, embarking on their journey of lifelong learning, where they learn to read, write, and spell their first words, where they form their first friendships, make wonderful memories and get initiated into a world of discovery - the place where they get their first brush with real-life, all safely ensconced in the safe, nurturing hands of caring teachers. The world of numbers, phonics, colors and varied knowledge opens up to them as they grow, year by year, multiplying their experiences manifold, slowly emerging from their cocoons, turning out to be the contributing, productive members of society we have all dreamed they will be. Middle School - the transitional period from elementary school to high school is a challenging time of growth and change. Middle Schoolers are provided with support and opportunities to meet their particular needs: greater independence, more appropriate health, and physical education, chances to participate in planning and managing their activities, facing the challenges of growing up, exploring new interests, and developing skills of responsibility and empathy. Middle Schoolers’ ability to grow and develop will set the stage for high school and beyond. The evolving Leopards of ISG Dammam High School embrace each other’s differences and individualities while maintaining an exceptionally kind and considerate atmosphere. Leopard alumni always remember the outstanding and tremendously supportive high school faculty and staff that guided them for success both in college and in real life. The school's curricula and courses have been enhanced with interactive 21st Century Learning that takes advantage of the latest technological advances, incorporating them into the evolving Leopards’ learning infrastructure. Through the online learning platform of Google Classroom, students interact with their teachers better than ever before, as the learning experience is extended beyond the confines of the regular classroom.

The DISJ is an acknowledged German school abroad that is close to the Red Sea, in the beautiful port city of Jeddah. The Mission Statement of the German International School Jeddah (DISJ) has been in existence since 2004/2005. In 2011, the respective committees decided on new specific principles and the Mission Statement was completely edited as well as newly written. It expresses the values shared by the school's pupils, teachers, parents, and employees. It influences our way of acting and thinking and is obligatory for the entire school community. Our Mission Statement consists of the following eight guiding principles: The DISJ is an acknowledged German school abroad which maintains a high level of quality from kindergarten up to IB The DISJ is a school for families with a German language background and for those who plan a future in a culture of the German language. Working together in a democratic and confident atmosphere offers everybody a sense of belonging and solidarity within the school. This is based on a European liberal understanding. Respect and tolerance are a solid foundation for productive cooperation between teachers and students. The school takes advantage of its cultural diversity among students and their parents. At the DISJ we equally encourage and demand that students work to their highest ability. This is an open and constantly changing process. Furthermore, we support the individual development of every child and young adult. The DISJ’s main focus is on language education. The Kindergarten at the DISJ is made up of two groups, 3 to 4-year-old 'Caterpillars' and 4 to 5-year-old 'Butterflies'. All children spend playtime together. That way the young ones can learn from the older children. First, we begin with our morning circle, which we use specifically to introduce new subjects and discuss the daily routine. The subjects are inspired by the different seasons and traditional festivities in Germany. Songs and creative works are chosen fittingly to the subjects and if possible, we end the subject with a trip. To make the entrance into the German language easier for our Kindergarten children, we offer German as a foreign language (DaF) four times a week. Here the children in small groups, are playfully introduced to the German language, here the learning level is consistently increased. After the second year of Kindergarten, it is time to move to preschool, or rather the 'Wobbly Tooth' group. This year is the preparation year for the first grade. Through differentiated exercises, the children develop concentration and increase their stamina to blossom their mathematically logical imagination. Additionally, to the language-sensitive daily routine, there is also specific German language training. Generally, it is important to our teachers, especially in these early years, to offer every child the possibility to develop their personality, become independent, and explore the world around them. For that, we want to offer a space of security, in which the child can grow in a known and loving atmosphere while feeling respected and happy. In September DISJ welcomed new first graders for the 43rd time to begin their school journey in our Elementary School. Together with those who have been with us for a while, they will learn from each other about their diverse cultural backgrounds within a nurturing environment where every voice is heard. In our vibrant school community, all children are immersed in German culture and traditions. DISJ is a “Deutsche Auslandsschule” (German school abroad). Our language of instruction is German. Students who lack language proficiency are receiving DaF- lessons. (German as a foreign language) As in other German schools abroad, our Elementary School follows the curriculum of Thüringen state in all subjects. (Except Arabic Mother Tongue) During the afternoons the students can choose among a large variety of age group tailored extracurricular activities. During vacation language and culture, camps are offered in Germany. At DISJ Elementary School we believe that learning is not just about the acquisition of facts. With an eye on the future, we have a holistic approach to learning and teaching to develop critical, independent thinkers and confident leaders. Differentiation is used in our classrooms to meet each student’s individual needs. Together with our Elementary faculty, we support the children as they demonstrate responsibility, respect, friendship, kindness, and honesty. We know that these foundational years are truly a once in a –lifetime experience and it’s our privilege to partner with families through this important time. After primary school, the Orientation level in year 5 follows. The respective teachers will assess the pupils’ acquired proficiency level during this year. Accordingly, the pupils will be assigned to three acknowledged German proficiency levels (“Hauptschule”, “Realschule” or “Gymnasium”). The change from one level/type of school to another remains possible depending on the child’s performance and the decision of the class conference (= the respective teachers have to decide on this issue). At the end of the 10th grade, the final examinations for the intermediate school certificate (Realschulabschluss or Ü11) take place. In years 6 to 10, grammar-school teaching will be adjusted for pupils with “Hauptschul-level” or “Realschul-level”. French is compulsory for grammar-school pupils as a second foreign language. The pupils can acquire different degrees: Certificate of completion of compulsory basic schooling (Hauptschulabschluss) after year 9 Intermediate School Certificate after year 10 Authorization to the upper school (Gymnasiale Oberstufe) after year 10. Homework supervision in the 6th lesson will take place if necessary. Pupils with difficulties in the German language will receive special remedial education in the subject “German as a foreign language” (DaF) if possible. The pupil can also receive additional lessons in French, English, or Arabic (for example the DELF offer of the Alliance Française). The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB-DP) is taught in the upper school. It is a good replenishment of the German Curriculum which ceases after year 10 and the intermediate school certificate. The IB-DP curriculum is drawn up and provided by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). After the successful completion of the entire two-year Diploma Programme, the pupils receive the “Gemischtsprachiges International Baccalaureate” (GIB) as a final diploma. The GIB is comparable to the German Abitur and has been an acknowledged diploma in Germany since 1986 (see KMK→Hochschulzugang). This diploma gives the students international access to universities. IIn the IB-DP six subjects will be taught which are respectively assigned to six subject groups (Group 1: Studies in language and literature, Group 2: Language acquisition Group 3: Individuals and Societies Group 4: Sciences Group 5: Mathematics Group 6: The arts). The pupils choose courses from the six subject groups taking three subjects at a higher level (HL) and three at standard level (SL). Two out of the six subjects have to be language courses (Group 1 and 2) – one will be taught on a level of a native speaker, the other is a language acquisition course. Furthermore, one subject is chosen from Group 3, Group 4, and Group 5 is mandatory. The sixth subject can be freely chosen from all subject areas and artistic subjects offered at the school.
