Dear Parents and Guardians:
The start of a new school year is a special time; especially as your child enters the first grade. It’s hard to imagine now, but in 2025 he or she will graduate, starting their next phase in life.
As a parent of four kids, I understand the hopes and dreams you have for your child. You hope that through an excellent education, your child will reach their full potential.
At Almaharat they can.
We understand that learning takes place both in and out of the classroom. People learn in many different ways and have many different talents and skills. Our task as a school is to find how your child learns best and to tailor our instruction to your child’s specific needs.
We build our world-class education system, delivering 21st century learning through the vision of Change Education for Life*. This vision identifies the competencies of a successful human – an engaged thinker who is ethical and entrepreneurial – and lays the groundwork for how to promote those values in our youth and the learning community.
The goal is to prepare students so they not only have the knowledge to succeed but also the skills and competencies demanded of their future world – a world that will have different types of jobs that require new skills. To get students ready, you will probably notice your child’s education is a bit different than when you were in school.
Classrooms are set up to invoke critical thinking where solutions are often found by the student, not just the teacher. This is all part of developing real-life skills in students, especially in our digital age where there is an abundance of information readily available – often in the palm of your hand.
For Change Education for Life to move beyond a vision and into reality, we all need to take an active role.
One way you can be a part of your child’s education is by understanding Almaharat’s education model (system).
As you send your student off to school this year, know that I’m thinking about them and what the education system can do to help them be successful – with your support and guidance.
By working together, I know our children’s future is bright at Almaharat.
Sincerely,
Sawsan Mashal
Principal
