If you’re excited about entering the games design industry, creating apps that change lives, or building technologies that help grow industries, then Ada is the perfect institution for you. Ada, the National College of Digital Skills is a specialist college that inspires the students of today to become the digital pioneers of tomorrow. The digital industry is experiencing epic growth but there is a talent shortage. Over 130,000 tech jobs are available each year in the UK but students are leaving education without sufficient knowledge and experience to get the job. We want to change this. With Ada, students can learn relevant digital skills to pursue their dream job in tech. We are a unique community that puts computer programming at the heart of everything we do. Our students are the future game-changers: challenging the norm, excited by change, and resilient in the face of adversity. We want to remove the glass ceiling for women and individuals from low-income backgrounds in the tech industry. Everyone, from any background, is entitled to quality education and a better future. Our community is united by digital so we work closely with Haringey Council and the local community to ensure the inclusion extends beyond the walls of Ada. We believe all our students exhibit the following five values. Curiosity - Learning is about more than facts and figures. It's about discovering how things work. It's about different people, cultures, and environments and a strong appreciation for the new. Rigour - Quality comes from the discipline of hard logic, honest challenge, thorough analysis, and precise execution and communication. Creativity - Ambiguity and uncertainty are our friends. That's why we make the space to imagine, to connect the unconnected, and to be inspired to create the new, and to solve the unsolved. Collaboration - Individually we can be great but together we are greater than the sum of our parts. We show people how to get the best out of each other, how to motivate each other, how to co-create and how to come together to solve the challenges and create the new. Resilience - Adversity, and change are inevitable factors we face in life. We build an adaptable and flexible mindset to ensure you are armored to face the future with confidence. Our sixth form teaches real-world digital skills and A Level subjects to students who aspire to make a difference. Everyone studies a BTEC in Computer Science which is equivalent to two A-Levels. Typically, you will also choose two A-Levels to study in the first year which you can narrow down to one in the final year. Earn valuable BTEC and A Level qualifications, build a digital portfolio that stands out from the rest and move forward with confidence and ambition. We help students unlock the path to apprenticeships, new start-ups, large corporations, and universities. There is nowhere else quite like Ada. Tech is at the heart of everything we do. We future-proof your career with top-notch academics, meaningful projects, and industry support. Combine your passions with in-demand digital skills and you will become unstoppable. Our subjects join the dots with technology so you're fully prepared for what's next. Personal development is about being confident in yourself, pro-actively managing your physical and mental health, and finding the careful balance between work and play. We offer pastoral care, sports clubs, societies, and even trips away. At Ada, we are responsible for ensuring that all of our students receive the necessary help and guidance they need to develop as individuals in addition to the college-wide values we strive to instill. This personal growth of every student is an essential cog in the industry focus that makes us truly unique. Our doors are open to students of all walks of life, with differing circumstances and situations. As such, we endeavor to create a dynamic attitude to guiding each student. It works like a roundabout. Students can come from any angle or direction and it’s our job to direct them to the right exit. We’ll do everything we can to advise or support them, which at times means referring them to specific external networks which match their need. Our industry connections are second to none. Our students love how much industry insight they get during their time at Ada, with access to companies including Google, Deloitte, and The National Archives. Several of our students have done work experience placements during term breaks. We also run skills workshops and welcome external speakers to educate and inspire our students providing a constant reminder of the world beyond the classroom. View full school

The first Army War Course, comprising twelve participants (including one each from Navy and Air Force) commenced on 1st May 1963 under the auspices of Army Staff College Quetta. In 1965, the strength of the course was raised to 16. Owing to the Pak-India war of 1965, there was no course in 1966. Realizing the need for a separate institution, National Defence College (NDC) was established at Lalkurti Rawalpindi on 28th May 1970, in the old National Assembly Building, known as Ayub Hall. Later on, a permanent building of NDC was built, where the College remained located for the next 25 years. Major General Abdul Hamid Khan, SQA, was the first Commandant of NDC, whereas, Brigadier Muhammad Ahmed, SJ, was the Chief Instructor (War Wing). In 1971, Army War Course was re-designated as ‘Armed Forces War Course’ and the strength of the course was raised to 20, including three officers each from Navy and Air Force. In 1975, on the directions of the then Prime Minister Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, the College was affiliated with the Federal University of Islamabad (now Quaid-i-Azam University), for the award of Degrees of MSc (War Studies) to the participants of Armed Forces War Course. Owing to the scarcity of space for expansion of the College in Lalkurti, the then President, General Muhammad Zia Ul Haq, decided in February 1980 to shift the College to Islamabad. The College was accordingly shifted to the newly constructed building in Islamabad on 14th August 1995. In 2007, NDC was upgraded to University level and War College was awarded the status of Armed Forces War College within the University. At present, the College functions as a part of National Defence University, as the university stands chartered since March 2007. In February 2009, the decision was taken in a conference of Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee to merge War Course and National Defence Course into one integrated course, re-designated as ‘National Security and War Course’. The course consists of two terms: National Security (NS) Term and Military Strategy (MS) Term. The emblem represents “National Security / Defence“ and comprises an Islamic shield in tri-service colors, with a black border and silver edging, surrounded by a golden wreath topped with a crescent and star and placed on a green background of the national color. A crossed sword and pen placed up the lower portion of the shield represent honor, strength, and achievement through learning. View full university

NCA is a premiere art college of this country. We are proud of our past as NCA is over 140 years old with a distinguished history, yet we have not rested on these laurels alone. We have forged ahead to embrace the future and impart a high standard of art education which is of international standard. While the Lahore Campus is situated on the historic Mall Road, our Rawalpindi Campus was set up at the Liaquat Memorial Hall in January 2006. Both the campuses are a hub of academic and cultural activity. We select students from all across the country, therefore cultural diversity is a hallmark of NCA. Our academic programs are structured and designed to produce professionals who are equipped to meet the requirements of a competitive work environment at national and international levels. NCA offers both graduate and postgraduate degrees in various areas of specialization. While the Fine Arts Department of NCA has a long and illustrious legacy of excellence, our college also caters to a growing demand for professionals in other art-related fields, therefore the Department of Fine Arts, Design, Architecture, Musicology, Film and Television, Multimedia Arts, Visual Art, Interior Design and Cultural Studies offer students diverse options in various areas of study. At the National College of Arts (NCA), we imagine a world. Not one world, but many. One for each of us, one from each of us, with these we write the autobiographies of our times, in objects, in lines, in a mortar, and perishable clay. In tracing ourselves, we leave traces. These are the traces that make our cities. Turn us inside out like pillowcases with that remembered smell, like shed skins. These are the traces that populate our nights, and from these traces, we dare to dream again…”. The NCA offers several professional undergraduates and graduate degree courses. Conceived in a way in which the student’s unique creative and internal impetus is aligned with the requirements of the job market in an increasingly diverse world. Tradition and individual talent both form an integral part of history for more meaningful participation in the future. Freedom, plurality, and an interdisciplinary approach allow ideas, histories, theoretical positions, and technical procedures to be located within a critical space. The diversity of both the faculty and the student body ensures that no particular ideological or theoretical position is sacrosanct. At the National College of Arts (NCA), we believe that education is a fluid process, where students are assisted in the exploration, investigation, and expression of their ideas. The visual is a language that must be learned. The knowledge of technique and medium forms the basis of personal expression, and that innovation comes through understanding and learning of visual language. We believe that creative expression has the power to change the world. An artist is a philosopher, linguist, idealist, writer, critic, theorist, and above all human at the same time. Our library archives section houses original documents spanning over a hundred years as well as a continuously updated bank of contemporary publications this makes it one of the best visual art research libraries in South Asia. The environment in the NCA is professional, creative, and research-oriented, and has, over the years, attracted several professionals and educationists of repute from all over the world, who have come to this institution for teaching and learning. All of our faculty members are practitioners in their fields. We believe that the cutting edge of creativity and expression is to be discovered within ourselves and for that, we individually nurture the potential in each student. We teach our students to reject nothing, to examine everything we teach them how to think but never what to think. In this lie freedom, ours and theirs. View full university

Classrooms are rich and varied and are divided into centers where children act as young scholars constructing knowledge and exploring the environment around them. Our flexible and developmentally challenging curriculum allows for individual growth and instills life-long learning in our children. Children engage in listening, speaking, reading, and writing daily. Teachers use a balanced approach that uses whole language and phonics instruction in both English and Arabic. Equal emphasis is placed on the joy of reading. Teachers read stories daily and children are provided with the opportunity to discuss the stories and acquire new vocabulary. All children are viewed as capable writers as they journal and write stories. Dictation and transitional spelling help our youngest children express their ideas in writing right from the start. Amman National Primary School includes grades 1-6.

The school aims to balance teaching basic skills with creativity and real-life application of the skills learned.

Science in English is introduced in grade 5 to boost the students’ scientific terminology. Our nurturing program and flexible teaching techniques allow our students to build confidence and self-discipline as they develop morals and values. We believe in an emphasis on creative ability, self-expression, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and project-based learning. Community is an important aspect of our school. We have active room parents, and families are encouraged to often volunteer in the classroom. Middle school represents a significant turning point in students’ life. It is a time of transition from childhood to adolescence – a period filled with mental, moral, social, emotional, and physical changes. It is when the students seek to acquire distinct identities, a personal set of values and assert their independence. Because of the nature of this critical period in the students’ life, utmost support and encouragement are offered through providing a warm and friendly atmosphere within an environment characterized by flexibility and trust. To develop and maximize student performance, teachers aim at achieving learning outcomes that go beyond basic knowledge to encompass the development of analytical, critical, and practical thinking and to integrate different fields of knowledge. Teachers also aim at helping students to understand themselves and to forge personal sets of values, interests maintaining, at all times, respect for and understanding of others. At ANS we believe that a high school is a place where students receive a well-rounded education that prepares them for their future field of study and career of choice. We strive to offer our students a smooth transition from middle school. We are committed to the personal and academic growth of each student and strives to provide an education that enables and empowers its students to develop their intellectual, emotional, and physical abilities, to understand and respect the similarities and differences among themselves and others, and to develop a sense of belonging to the larger community. Students participate in creative projects and service-learning activities as well as attend various national and international conferences and seminars to help them become involved citizens locally and globally.

Welcome to Sands National Academy (SNA), where its mission and program have earned a reputation for excellence in Jordan and beyond. The school was founded to offer a valuable learning experience to meet the needs of the diverse local community.

The students of SNA have equal opportunities for a good education in a healthy multi-cultural environment. The main aim of the SNA is to provide physical, mental, professional, and cultural growth for its students so that they can fit into and count for something in their community. We believe that to live harmoniously in the modern world, we need to develop a global perspective that promotes international cooperation and understanding. In SNA we have three programs: the national stream follows the Jordanian Ministry of Education curriculum culminating in Tawjeehi the international stream follows the American curriculum leading to the American High School diploma as well as the British National curriculum, which leads to IGCSE and GCE. We look at what a child could do, rather than what he/she cannot do we focus on including every student in the process of learning. Specialists in languages have joined the Academy to facilitate progress in English and Arabic to allow non-native speakers to access all subjects within the curriculum. Every student is expected to realize their potential. The academy's mission is based on enhancing a Comprehensive educational environment that cares about the student's personality (mentally, socially, and Physically) taking into consideration the technological and educational developments that support our target in addition to creating a competitive atmosphere for students in the different stages. We treat our school community as a family. And as a family, we support and encourage our students to strive for excellence in all aspects of their educational, personal, and spiritual development.

Curriculum: National curriculum, SAT P.N.S System believes that excellence in education is an attainable goal for the particular groups of students it serves. To reach that goal, we support high expectations and standards for our students so that each student may reach full potential. Excellence is a responsibility shared by all participants in the process: students, parents, staff, School Committee, and the community, each having unique and complementary roles and each having opportunities to influence the curriculum. Education is at the foundation of and critically important to a changing society. The effect of accelerated changes in science and technology on society demands that our curriculum, services, and staff be continually assessed to assure that we properly prepare students for the future. Accordingly, the school system must provide a sequentially coordinated curriculum that allows for individual differences within our school program. To safeguard the noble customs and traditions of the Jordanian Community. To provide a safe and healthy environment for teaching. To guide the new generations to be able to inspect other cultures carefully and select and get used to their positive qualities.
