These educational standards describe what students should know and be able to do in each subject in each grade. In California, the State Board of Education decides on the standards for all students, from kindergarten through high school and ensures that all students are meeting the standards.
Having the common standards helps all students get a good education, even if they change schools or move to a different state. Teachers, parents and education experts designed the CCSS to prepare students for success in college and the workplace.
The National Curriculum for England aims to provide students with an introduction to the essential knowledge they need to be educated citizens. The curriculum provides an outline of core knowledge around which teachers can develop exciting and stimulating lessons to promote the development of students’ knowledge, understanding and skills. Schools are required to follow the statutory national curriculum which sets out in programmes of study the subject content for core subjects taught to all students.
The National Curriculum of England is used by the vast majority of schools in England. It is a very well-established and recognised curriculum, often characterized by the terms ‘broad and balanced’ as, up to the age of fourteen, students study the full breadth of subjects that are needed to help them develop into well-rounded citizens of the future. The curriculum focuses on delivering high academic standards. It is highly structured, from the Early Years to age 16+, with progress measures throughout this time, so teachers and parents know exactly how well a student is achieving, and how well s/he is being taught.
Over the few years I’ve spent at Al Sadiq Islamic English School, I’ve truly seen the school grow. I joined school in year 8, in 2017. These 3 years I’ve spent here have really been a great experience for me. I made good friends, worked hard and overall had a good learning experience. The teachers focus on all of our strengths and weaknesses individually and genuinely care about our results. They want us to do the best we can and sincerely help us to do so with their constant assistance. I have my IGCSE exams in a year and due to all the constant support from the staff, I really think I am already starting to feel prepared for them and hope to excel. Furthermore, the school does not just focus on our educational development, they look at our personal development too, looking at mental health, our skills outside of the classroom and overall wellbeing. The environment here is also a very safe and caring one.
For the past 2 years at AL Zuhour Private School, I've had all kinds of diverse experiences; academically and socially. Since day 1, I put divergent goals for myself, which were doing my best and enhancing my knowledge as well as interacting and getting to know other people, and today, I proudly stand here to say I've done that. I've learnt limitless values that I would've never learned if I was somewhere else, and I've met marvelous teachers and students that resemble care and benevolence at its best. Such encounters make me grateful to have been in this school for the last 2 years.
Hey, my name is Eisa Abdalla Sultan Mohamed Almulla and I'm a grade 12 student in RAIS. My school has helped me to push myself academically. It has also exposed us to multiple universities and how to help ourselves in the future. I'm also a part of the student counselor committee which has given me an opportunity to develop leadership skills by organizing and carrying out school activities and service projects.
Kids can be taught "things" anywhere. At AZPS, my children are learning how to learn through fun in addition they are introduced to lot of life skills. Thank you AZPS for making my children happy.
Your team has managed to give a stronger, smoother, more organized, more reliable level of education than other reputable private schools, and at a lower cost.
For the last two years my kids are studying in grammar school and what i have observed is unconditional support from teachers for academic and non academic issues.Teachers are ready to answer our queries even on weekends and they are ready to support students if they are willing learners.
I would like to thank the school for all the academic and personal support that the school provided to my children. I would also like to mention Ms. Dania ( Elementary Supervisor ) and the Principal Ms. Felecia’s quick response to any issue that helps to raise the academic level of the student.
My daughter Salma has more self confidence while talking now and she started writing and doing little reading as she is and kg but the most important thing is her self confidence level is increased up, thank you International Academy school thank you teacher for all your hard work, care and love you give to our kids.
I have had an amazing experience so far with my kids with Al Resalah School . They have learned many new things in just two months of school ! The teachers are helpful and cooperative , the kids are well behaved . The studies and tests are organized well . Keep it up!!
