SAAMAR International Islamic School

The International syllabus was adopted so as to give children an opportunity to excel in core subjects in an international setting and also excel at acquiring and applying beneficial knowledge of Islam. Cambridge IGCSE is the world's most popular international curriculum for 4-16 year olds, leading to globally recognized and valued qualifications. For learners, Cambridge IGCSE helps improve performance by developing skills in creative thinking, enquiry and problem solving. It is the perfect springboard to advanced study.

Assessment for Cambridge IGCSE includes written and oral tests, coursework and practical assessment. Schools have the option of assessing learners using only external examinations or, in most subjects, combining examinations with coursework. Coursework is set and marked by the teacher and externally moderated by Cambridge. Cambridge IGCSE examination sessions occur twice a year, in May/June and October/November. Results are issued in August and January.

We strongly believe in engaging children, involving them and allowing them to learn. Students are engaged with HSIE content through open-ended tasks that are differentiated to meet various learning abilities (Bloom's Taxonomy), learning styles (Gardner's Multiple Intelligences), provide high challenge and high support (Vygotsky's zoe of proximal development), effectively integrates ICT and incorporates a constructivism approach to ensure learning is student-based.

Large classrooms with ample space for movement and activities.
